In the global economic village, corporations are the biggest economic players. Many international corporations now have a greater turnover than the Gross Domestic Product of most countries.

Corporations compete in global markets but they have started realising that antagonism alone leads to a zero-sum game where finally all stand to lose. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the policy adopted by some corporations to take on responsibility for the environmental impact of business decisions and promote human development. The Indian civilization traditionally upheld public welfare as the responsibility of the business caste. In modern India, economic growth is not being accompanied by social progress. And a vast segment of the Indian population is still victim to food insecurity and does not have access to basic health services and primacy education. Now, Indian corporations are increasingly called upon to re-balance development and promote fairer relationship amongst different communities. The most vibrant and visionary companies have responded positively to this call and are now driving the change in taking up social responsibility. The Azim Premji Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of the WIPRO group of high-tech companies in India. We went to visit a school near Bangalore, the dynamic city where WIPRO has its head office, to see how the Azim Premji Foundation works for the education of the underprivileged.
