Communicate for Social Impact

Make a sustained difference with your CSR Initiatives through Storytelling

Increasing amounts are spent by India Inc on CSR every year, towards achieving India’s Social Goals and the International Sustainable Development Goals.

In FY 2016-17 alone, the CSR spend was over INR 10,000 Cr while financial outlays from the 300 largest companies on CSR initiatives was more than INR 6871 Cr. And as the Section 135 of the Companies Act 2013 mandates, these funds have been spent solely towards the achievement of India’s Social Goals. More than 90 per cent of companies have spent their allocated budget towards health and education, followed by environment (59 companies) and rural development (48 companies).

35% of the CSR Spends were allocated to Education and Skill projects while 25% funds were focused on Swachh Bharat, Healthcare and related projects. 10% was spent on Environment Sustainability and 2% on the cause of Gender Equity and Women Empowerment.

The question is how effective have these spends been in achieving societal welfare? While large amounts are spent on setting up toilet infrastructures, schools and skill centres, how successful are they in creating a mind-set change among our target audience?

One of the most effective tools Fulki uses to deliver Social Impact, even for large and complex issues, is authentic, compelling stories that balance emotions with rational facts.
