CSR is a Board driven  process  and  the  Board  of  the  company  is  empowered  to  plan,  decide, execute and monitor the CSR activities based on the recommendations of its CSR Committee. CSR framework provides that CSR activities may be undertaken by the company itself or through the entities as mentioned in Rule 4(1) of Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014.
