India's CSR Spending Hits Rs 40,794 Crore in FY25 with Uneven Funding Distribution
India's corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending reached Rs 40,794 crore in FY 2024-25, growing at a 15% CAGR over the past decade, according to Sattva Consulting's report. While education, healthcare, livelihoods, environment, and rural development receive over 80% of funding, CSR allocation remains uneven, favoring established sectors and better-funded states. States with higher multidimensional poverty, like Bihar, receive significantly less CSR funding per capita compared to lower-need states, highlighting geographic and sectoral disparities amid uneven progress toward the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
