## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a) & (b) : As per the information shared by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs(MoCA), the Government provides a broad framework for Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) through Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act'), Schedule VII of the Act and Companies (CSR  Policy)  Rules,  2014.  Schedule  VII  of  the  Act  indicates  the  activities  that  can  be undertaken  by  the  company  as  eligible  CSR  activities.  Further,  MoCA  clarified  that  items mentioned in Schedule VII are broad based and must be interpreted liberally to capture the essence  of  the  subject  enumerated.  Item  no.  (x)  Schedule  VII  of  Companies  Act,  2013 mentions  "Rural  Development  Projects"  as  eligible  CSR  activities.  On  the  basis  of  filing made by companies in the MoCA registry, CSR funds spent by various companies in "Rural Development Projects" under the Act for the financial years 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 are given below:

|      2 | 2018-19 | 2,428.45                                                              |
|      3 | 2019-20 | 2,279.20                                                              |
