Corporates can engage in social stewardship by participating in community development activities. Sustainable Energy is a good way of making a contribution to improve the quality of life and empower livelihoods in rural India. E-Hands Energy has engaged with several prominent corporate organisations who have channeled their CSR funds for community enrgy projects. The government policy for CSR stipulates that every qualifying company requires spending of at least 2% of its average net profit for the immediately preceding 3 financial years on CSR activities. Further, the qualifying company will be required to constitute a committee (CSR Committee) of the Board of Directors (Board) consisting of 3 or more directors.For more details click this link http://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/pdf/General_Circular_21_2014.pdf
