Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rule 2014 has made it mandatory for profit-making corporations in India to spend 2% of the average net profit of the last three Financial Years for socio-economic development of marginalized communities in Rural and urban areas. Corporates always look for credentialed grassroots organizations to implement impactful projects through their CSR funds. Mahapreit Start-up Knowledge Center (MSKC) collaborates with such corporations through impactful innovative projects to benefit less privileged people.

MSKC, with support from Corporate CSR funding has initiated various projects for benefitting marginalized and other communities. Being an experienced organization promoted by MAHAPREIT and MPBCDC, the Government of Maharashtra MSKC has a presence in Rural and urban areas. Coordination with local Government authorities is easier compared to other private social organizations. The CSR program's objective is to benefit less privileged people through livelihood programs, skill development, and technology promotion.
