State Coordinator – Indian Social Responsibility Network (ISRN)

Apply by 2nd Jan 24

Indian Social Responsibility Network (ISRN) Globalization and rapid economic development have had a deep impact on the social, economic, political and cultural fabric in India. On one hand where it gave tremendous benefits to Indian society in terms of global participation and involvement on the other it created another section of society who could not adequately enjoy the benefits. Hence a common platform was needed to synergize the various machineries of society- the corporate, the NGOs and the government to establish as a network to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth. The birth of this forum was a result of deliberations among professionals from diverse disciplines, sectors and backgrounds who have had a vision and mission to channelize all agencies which aim to provide services to the society, to reach larger numbers and greater areas with the assistance of each other with utmost efficiency. They termed it “relationship building”​ where the corporate with their resources together with the skills, outreach, monitoring and evaluation of NGOs and policies of the government could plan their programs in such a way that with collaboration of all the three or any two players as the need be, the CSR funds get adequately and rightfully utilized. The vision of this forum is to see India attain the status of a developed country, in true sense of the term by rightfully enabling the community, to bridge up disparities that were caused as a result of uneven distribution, implementation and reach of programs and resources. The reason for this could either be inadequate evaluation, assessment or lack of monitoring skills. The forum thus, would provide a platform to various players to build their capacities, strategies and skills with each other’s assistance and support.
