Indian Research / Industry sector, both government funded and private, have a rich tradition of philanthropy and the sectors have made huge efforts to minimize the gap in several social areas to uplift the common well-being of society. Social Responsibility is established on the reciprocal dependence between an organization and society. The Social Responsibility guidelines attempt to move ahead of a philanthropic model to a more expansive view that encompasses the integration of social and environmental issues into research decisions, goals and operations and also the integration between organisations and their stakeholders. There is an increased need for organizations to focus on evolving a strong Social Responsibility policy and ensure implementation of the same. It is imperative that such policy should address the felt needs of community and society but also create shared social value both for the organization and its stakeholders for sustainability. Our country’s major visionary growth policies are aligned with achieving the 169 targets leading to 17 UN Sustainable Development Goal’s. This Training program will be a gateway for understanding the ground reality in devising such policies, ability to solve many of the social issues and problems through Innovation and inculcate effective altruism ( i.e. evidence and reasoning to help establish the mutual benefits that effective altruism bestows on both the giver and the receiver of the benefits made available).
