National CSR Hub at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, was established in 2010 at the behest of the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) under Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises. The Hub is envisioned as a think tank and facilitation knowledge partner, and commits itself to the concept and practical implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Various initiatives under National CSR Hub are an attempt at creating sustainable development models; converging the best practices undertaken by the business sector, the NGOs and other Community Based Organisations. Since its inception, Tata Institute of Social Sciences has continually been responding to changes in social realities through development and application of knowledge.
