I believe that everyone should realize their responsibility & come forward to help the social sector with Knowledge, Money, and by providing small employment.
Its not very tough to help poor people while working in the corporate world.
They don't have enough financial resources to put their children in a school. Hence, we can spread the education and try to make them feel happy.
We are living in India where people are famous not for its luxurious things but famous for their helping nature. |

| Since, the topic is such where in we have to drag the Corporate sector in between. As matter of fact thinking about the social sector, being a social animal, we must think about others as well. My personal belief when we talk about the corporate sector, it's about a doing a job like others do with the same heart, same emotions. There are so many companies which have some way or the other linked to some NGO's or other societies, which are active and helping the people who are in need. We should identify the channel to help the needy. Rest everything will fall on place and will give us some peace and happiness of helping others. |

Yes, I do agree that one can really contribute to social sector inspite of being employed in corporate sector. There are many ways to contribute to seciety i.e. Donation, running some awareness probramme for society and teaching poor students for free or very less fee etc.
There are many corporate organizations like TATA, GENPACT etc. Which are allied with some NGOs and wellfare societies and donate money and clothes etc. These companies also organise some charity programmes like organizing some fession shows, singing & Dancing events which help in collecting money and then the collected money is donated to NGOs, Hospitals or schools & colleges in terms of scholerships to the poor students that is in way a contribution to the society/country.
At personal level an indivisual can take out some time and disseminate his/her knowledge around that he/she get there from the corporate world. That can really help the people in getting a right path and building a good career. Teaching poor children/students who can not go to good schools/colleges, will be great contribution. So its our moral duty that we contribute to social section as much as we could in all the manners. |

Yes, if any one who is working in corporate then defiantly he can contribute to the social sector. Every one has freedom to do what they want do and if there work is not affecting to others then he can do anything.
But its also important that the person of corporate when contributing to social sector there there contribution does not affect there corporate work. |

Being part of a corporate world we are used to things like:keep clients first, meeting deadlines, making profits, cost cutting etc and hence, it is belived that coorporate is all about profit maximization and nothing else.
But, if we look around, we will find so many examples which prove that even coorporates are invloving themselves in paying back to the socitey. ITC and p and g donates 1 re from each of their products for community welfare programmes, itc has come up with e choupals, tata is involved in providing various facilties to its employees in jamshedpur etc.
It may be argued that they just do it for their own benefit as it helps in building the trust of their customers. But, I beleive even if that be the reason, the society is getting benefited from such measures and hence, these should be encouraged. |

Yes by being in the corporate world its possible to contribute to the social sector. As it's our moral responsibility to contribute to the society. Individually it can be bit tougher but norms or measures undertaken by the top management people of the company can be followed which is in the direction of goodwill of the society.
As there are no. Of companies which are company in front with measures which are for the society. For example- p&g donate rs. 1 on every purchase of its product for the education of the poor people. Similarly there are TATA which believe in ethics a lot which again in favor of the society. The body shop realize the importance of nature in our lives and they urge to protect the environment for our future generations. Likewise there are number of companys which are performing such kind of activities.
These kind of acts create an good image of the company in front of the customers. So this will have great impact in front of customers and customers will also get emotionally attached with the company. |

| All of us can contribute even in a small means in a small way. It can be by being a part of any social activity or by helping people in own society or a organisation. Corporate life is never ending, its upto us how we manage the time. Contribution to social sector doesn't involve a daily basis effort. So, just a initiative is required, rest where there is the will there is the way. |

Hi friends,
As per my view every person has some responsibility towards their society. Because we born in society, we lived in society, then when q arises about social responsibility why peoples are keep quit. They gave the reason we have no time? what should I do? Despite your busy schedule why they took d time for their own society, where the new future are born.
Actually people Wants only money For their Bright Future. But future is also depend on society. |

| Excuse me please I want ask you a question to all of you. Is a human not born in a society. He do the growth after leaving in it he can never expand every moment of their life in corporate word it is only the source of money. Nothing more than it. Lastly he come in society and enjoy every moment of his/her life in society so every human either he is related to corporate or not, he/she should do their full contribution which he/she can. |

If there is a will there will be a way. It is our moral responsibility to do service to our society. As we are a part of society we need to scatter our work towards society.
The hectic schedule in corporate jobs may not allow us to take part in social service actively, but we should strive hard ro do some thing to society. If we become initiator others will follw us, we should make an epoch. |

| Yes, it can be possible if ones have the desire to do social service. We are all part of a society, so we should do something for a society. If he is a poor person if he has the desire to contribute to society he will do it by servicing. But he /she is a employed in corporate world, he /she certainly contribute to social sector. Because corporate sector obliviousness provide high salaries. So they should cojtribute to social sector. |

I think it is possible to contribute to our society by various form like donating some money to deserving person, giving your knowledge free to whom who cant afford education, by using your knowledge for improvement of our society, by spending quality time with orphanage etc. So I think at least by one way we can help to our society. |

| Yes of course one can contribute to the society inspite of being in the corporate sector. A lot of corporates today have understood their responsibility toward the society and the stakeholders. companies today provide education n medical facilities to the under privilege eg. the TATA memorial hospital for cancer patients by the TATA group. They have also taken steps for pollution control by planting trees in the cities . Such measures should be taken up by more n more companies as it not only benefits the society but also brings goodwill to the organisation. |

| I support shelly for his point.Many corporate companies are finding enough time for social sector depending on the interest of their employees. Many organisations are providing special classes for rural people during weekends,conducting sports meet for school childern in the nearby villages.Tata is one best company where you can find such works on large scale.So everyone can contribute to social sector even though he is in corporate or some other field. |

| Yes! Contributing to the social sector doesn't mean giving your 100%. Its just a matter of 1%. Many of the corporate sectors are off on weekends, Taking out some time for some social cause would really make a contribution. Many of the students working on college projects do surveys by visiting the NGO's just for the sake of completion of their tasks. In this case when you are getting something from the society why not contribute to the society. |

And it is obviously true it is good thing we must maintain our time and effort when working in corporates then their no possible to say that time is not enough to contribute our society. |

| Yes its certainly true that a corporate, for that matter any one should also contribute to social sector. Its a simple equation. We are taking many things from the society for our personal development. Obviously as a responsible human being we have a duty to contribute for the society. And it does not really involve monetary contribution all the times. We can also give moral support to many under privileged kids of the society. |

| I think it does not depend on whether you belong to rich class or poor class it all depend on your will, if you want to contribute to society you can do it by extracting 1 hour from your job every day or few hour from your weekend like teaching poor class student even start with those student who comes to your house for work, join any club which organize activities for society. |

According to my view being a corporate employee we can also contribute our time for social activity's in weekends as some corporates giving holiday in week ends. If we do so some of our neighbours will also show the interest on doing social activities.
If we are doing like this then our next generation also know what is society and how we should work, live in society. If we are escaping by saying no im not having time or I'm too busy then often some days our next generation will ask to us wt is society mam/dad just like some children don't know about some animals.
So every one should contribute some of time for social works in one or the other day. |

Yes of course. One can b a part of social sector, while being into corporate world. For ex: TISS (TATA Institute of Social Sciences). TATA is one of the largest businesses in the country but. In spite of being into the corporate world, this initiative by TATA group shows an effort by it to be into the social sector. Apart from this, indirectly also this is contributing to the social sector, as the students passing out from this institute, will be a part of the social sector.
So, in my view, corporate and social sector can definitely go hand in hand. |

Yes, ofcourse I agree with Mr. Raju to some extent.
One can! In my openion participating parallel in both sectors for the long time couldn't be that much easy, as working in corporate world finds finds ourselves with no time and social work needs that, initially it feels good, but as the responsibilities increase either in any field. May push ourselves into great stress, even into depression of not doing justice to any of fields.
One can search for the minds thinking the same at work, forming a group, discussing the issues involved, sharing the responsibilities, moving collectively can only make a good contributer to society, but also makes oneself satisfied with whatever being done. |

It will depend on your company business or the Social organisation in which you want to involved. If both are in same group or Aim then you could not attempt social activity during your job tenure but if there are different type of Product or activity of your current organization or the Social Unit in which you want to do participate, there are no any rule who can stop you.
This is real Good thought if everybody involved in social sector then Our Social life will be improve. |

If there is Will there is way. There is no meaning in saying I don't have time. If we think well we can do lot of contribution to the society with little money, time and effort. They can paying your income tax at the right time, creating your software or website for non profit organisations and donations to the various charity sites like rotary.
As a corporate employ if you have good money you have to contribute more to the society since all money comes from the society.
If you want to contribute something to society there is no difference between corporate employ, middle-class person, poor man. Any one contribute to the society in someway in my opinion we all must do. |
