CSR South, held on March 16, 2025, at Shilpakala Vedika, brought together executives from many sectors to debate the transforming impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Prof. M. Kodandaram, a renowned political activist, educator, and politician, led an engaging seminar on using CSR to empower grassroots movements and create social change.
Prof. M. Kodandaram – Championing Social Justice and Community Development
As convener of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (T-JAC), he was instrumental in the drive for a separate Telangana state. In March 2018, he established the Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) to advance the causes of regional development and social justice. In August 2024, he was appointed to the Telangana Legislative Council under the Governor’s quota, increasing his political clout.
Key Takeaways:
- Community Engagement: Emphasized the importance of involving local communities in CSR initiatives to ensure they address genuine needs and foster ownership.
- Sustainable Development: Advocated for CSR projects that focus on long-term benefits, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, to create lasting impact.
- Policy Advocacy: Encouraged corporations to support policies that promote social equity and environmental sustainability, aligning business goals with societal well-being.
Reflecting on the synergy between corporate initiatives and grassroots movements, Prof. Kodandaram stated:
“True social transformation occurs when corporate responsibility intersects with community aspirations, leading to empowered societies and inclusive growth.”
Prof. Kodandaram’s broad experience in activism and politics makes him particularly qualified to bridge the gap between corporate enterprises and grassroots organizations. His session urged firms to see CSR as more than just a legal requirement, but as a moral commitment to help vulnerable communities and create structural change.
