Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Its Impact on Public Health and Wellbeing in India (2023–25)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Its Impact on Public Health and Wellbeing in India (2023–25) Abstract This paper investigates CSR’s impact on healthcare in India during the fiscal years 2023–2025, focusing on its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining quantitative analysis of CSR spending with qualitative case studies of high-impact projects. The results indicate that CSR contributes significantly to improving public health, particularly in maternal health, sanitation, and mobile healthcare. However, regional disparities in CSR allocation, short-term funding models, and a lack of systematic monitoring limit its long-term effectiveness. The study proposes policy recommendations to strengthen the CSR-health nexus, advocating for increased collaboration between corporations, government, and civil society.
