(a):  All  data  related  to  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  (CSR)  filed  by  companies  in MCA21  registry  including  project  wise  is  available  in  public  domain  and  can  be accessed at www.csr.gov.in.

As per the section 137 of the C ompanies Act, 2013 ('Act') and R ules made thereunder, the companies are required to hold Annual General Meeting (AGM) within six months from  the  end  of  financial  year.  Thereafter,  financial  statements  and  board  report containing disclosure about CSR are to be filed in MCA21 within 30 days of the AGM. As  the  filing  date  for  the  current  financial  year  i.e  2025-26  is  not  due  as  yet,  the information on CSR data in Odisha for the Financial Year 2025-26 is not available.

(b):  There  is  no  provision  of  allocation  of  CSR  funds  to  States  or  UTs  under  the Companies Act, 2013. Under the Act, 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. On the basis of annual filings made by companies in the MCA21 registry, CSR expenditure by PSUs in Odisha during the Financial Years 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 is at Annexure.

(c) & (d): There are no PSUs under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
