A Word from the Jury

National CSR Awards seeks to infuse excellence in CSR interventions undertaken by corporates in pursuance of

massive on-desk and in-field activities were carried out by Members of Expert Committee, drawn from four

independent institutions of repute (IRMA, TISS, IIFM and DSSW). We appreciate their efforts in assisting the

Jury in selecting the best CSR interventions.

Robust all round technical and logistics support has been provided by the Secretariat of National CSR Awards at

particular Dr Navneet Sharma, Nodal Officer, Mr Ravi Raj Atrey, Programme Manager, Mr RL Arora, Consultant,

Mr Sandeep Yadav and Ms Priti Boipoi (Project Assistants) at each stage of the Award process to bring it to

fuition.

record its deep appreciation to the officers of MCA, particularly Mr. GK Singh, Joint Secretary, Mrs Seema Rath,
