(a):    There  is  no  provision  for  allocation  of  funds  under  CSR  framework.  The  legal framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been provided under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act'), Schedule VII of the Act and Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014. Section 135 of the Act mandates every company having net worth of Rs. 500 crore or more, or turnover of Rs. 1000 crore or more, or net profit of Rs. 5 crore or more during the immediately preceding financial year, to spend at least two per cent of  the  average  net  profits  of  the  company  made  over  immediately  preceding  three financial years towards CSR as per the CSR Policy of the Company on activities/area specified in Schedule VII of the Act. Every  eligible  company  shall  constitute  a  CSR  Committee  comprising  three  or  more directors. The Committee shall formulate and recommend the CSR policy which indicates the activities to be undertaken by the company in area or subject specified in Schedule VII. The Board of the company plans, decides, executes and monitors the CSR activities of the company based on the recommendations of its CSR Committee. (b) to (d):  The  Ministry  does  not  maintain  village  and  town  wise  data  of  CSR  spent. However,  on  the  basis  of  the  filings  made  by  the  companies  in  the  MCA21  registry, development  sector  wise  CSR  spent  by  all  the  eligible  companies  in  the  district  of Jaisalmer & Barmer during the last three Financial Years (FY) i.e 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 is at Annexure-I. The CSR framework is disclosure based and CSR mandated companies are required to file details of CSR activities annually in the MCA21 registry. All data related to CSR filed by companies in MCA21 registry, is available in public domain and can be accessed at www.csr.gov.in. The State-wise and development sector-wise CSR spent by all the companies across PAN India during the last three Financial Years (FY) i.e 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 are at Annexure-II & III respectively.
