SON, WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND ?

This thought has been clingering in my mind for a few years and has itself reached a stage where solution need to be formed. Coporates come up with concept of CSR (Corporate Social responsibility) which is ofcourse a very good and a needed initiative for the soceity. But as individuals what can we do..?

A question to ponder. I call this ISR (Individual Social resposibility) and not sure anybody holds patent or IPR on this term. Man utilizes the resources of the earth to come up to a position in which he feels that he has accomplished some materials benefits. But he is also obliged to think to give back the same resources to the mother earth. Fortunately, I have tuned myself to the ideals of the few of my friends who are involved in social activities which they feel it to be their duty than just a social service.

The problem that people currently face is that they really find it difficult to find credible people to whom the resources can be donated and it is the same case on the other side for the NGOs, to find the source of these resources. There are organizations which primarily does the activity of acting as a intermediary group between the donator and the NGOs. This is ofcourse of a great deal of help to the NGOs. But it is not a point to have a pat on the back. If the donations are getting drowned, even these organizations do not add any value to the NGOs. This is the current scenario of the NGOs.

I have been in talks with some of my friends who hold the same ideals as me and those interactions have been really fruitful. As corporates we need to be a great resource generator for these NGOs. For this we need to do nothing more than giving a miniscule part of our earnings to these groups.

ppl, pls provide ur suggestions. Ofcourse it cannot be a one man show.
