Abstract
In this chapter, the authors examine Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives to empower Indian women, emphasizing that sustainable development is unattainable without their active participation. The study employs a non-probability purposive sampling technique to analyze secondary data from CSR reports of Indian companies from 2014 to 2018, including sources such as the High-Level Committee-2015 (HLC-2015), the CSR Reporting Survey 2019, the National Health Survey of Families Health, and the top 10 women empowerment projects through CSR initiatives in 2018-19. Utilizing percentage analysis, the chi-square test, and ANOVA, the study assesses the impact of CSR initiatives on women's personal and professional growth in both social and economic spheres. Furthermore, the chapter proposes a conceptual framework to enhance women's development through CSR. This chapter contributes valuable insights into the role of CSR in fostering women's empowerment in a developing economy like India.
