Can One Contribute to the Social Sector while Being Employed in the Corporate World?

One can totally contribute to the social sector while being employed in the Corporate World. Various companies have a separate CSR(Corporate Social Responsibility) Division which focuses on taking up activities meant for the benefit of the masses, i.e, the social sector. For e.g. Coca Cola provides for the education of thousands of people through its CSR campaign.

What matters is the will from within to force a change. Even if you are in the corporate world and have compassion for the people you'll end up doing a lot for the needy and thus contribute to their development.

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.

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.

Hi all,

In my opinion for the the development of a country we need money. Money is contributed by corporate sector. If more number of corporate sectors arise, the more people become employed. As a result of employment poverty can be alienated to an extent. If we promote more number of corporate sectors our country will soon become developed from a developing nation.

Taking Gujarat as an instance, years ago Gujarat was really bashed up in the quake. But now it has become more facilitated than any other states. Its only due to the corporate world.

Actually mentality obliges persons to do anything rather than situation or circumstances. Not giving excuses whether he/she is working in the prestigious corporate sectors, earning money a lot, is the busiest person in the world having no time to spent for others, if he or she really wants to look out the social activities like helping poor, donating blood, concerns about environment, lot of plantains etc.

It fully depends on his attributions towards mentality. Most of the people think why do I do for others. It has become today's moto.

Yes, one can contribute if he wants to contribute.

We can see so many examples around us like Bill gates, Ratan tata, Amitabh bachchan, Sachin, Aamir and many more. All of the above mentioned has parallelly does their prof and social work.

Not only by money, one can contribute towards the social sector by keeping environment neat and clean, not exploiting resources, not polluting, spreading harmony and brotherhood etc.

Not only the corporate world related employee but any can contribute towards social sector if he is concise about it.

Good afternoon everyone,

Yes, a person employed in the corporate world can contribute to the social sector by doing various activities such as a Tree plantation drive at weekends (Saturday), also By donating blood during blood donation drives and in some cases, they can teach children living in slums where the students parent can't afford to send their childrens to school also there are various way they can contribute to the social sector such as paying taxes, use of public transport. It depends on person's value and beliefs.

Yes I feel that a person can definitely contribute to the social sector. The reason is that because we live in a more empowered and knowledgeable world now. Our ancestors were not considered so lucky to have all the facilities that we enjoy today. And I also feel that after a while a person needs to think for the society as a whole. As because humans are part of a social colony and a man can attain the greatest pedestal of satisfaction. I would like to end with a quote as "The greatest joy lies in helping others".

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.

Its not that one who ears more should be active in social sectors can be done by the individual who know the actual meaning of rise and fall. Because tors too. Making your contribution in social sector can be done by one who knows the meaning of rise and fall.

One cannot become directly rich, he may had faced failures a number of time than achieved a success of high rate. So social sectors is not demanding the money, it means raising people to stand on the basis of their capability.
