Signification
To act in a way that benefits society and the environment.
Contexte culturel
India was the first country in the world to make Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandatory by law (Companies Act, 2013). This has made the phrase 'सामाजिक जिम्मेदारी निभाना' a daily part of business vocabulary. The concept is closely linked to 'Seva' in Sikhism and Hinduism, where serving the community is seen as serving God. This gives the phrase a deeper, almost spiritual weight in India. Modern Indian youth are increasingly using this phrase in the context of climate change and social justice, moving away from just 'charity' to 'systemic change'. In villages, this often takes the form of 'Shramdaan' (gift of labor), where people come together to build a road or clean a pond.

Gender Alert
