IICA observed 3rd IICA CSR Day on Gandhi Jayanti with a Special Address by the DG & CEO to Participants of the IICA Certified CSR Professional Programme ahead of NCCSR 2026

The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, observed the 3rd IICA CSR Day on Gandhi Jayanti, serving as a curtain-raiser to the 3rd National Conference and Exhibition on Corporate Social Responsibility (NCCSR 2026) in New Delhi. During a special address to the IICA Certified CSR Professional Programme participants, the DG & CEO of IICA noted that CSR in India is rooted in the concept of trusteeship and Indian tradition rather than solely the Companies Act. The address highlighted the growth of CSR expenditure from about ₹10,000 crore in its first year to nearly ₹35,000 crore in FY 2023–24, while emphasizing a shift from supply-driven compliance to needs-based, high-impact community transformation aligned with the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.
