Gurgaon | Tuesday | 13th November, 2018

Summary:

GURUGRAM: In a major embarrassment, the Haryana government went back on its announcement stating that Hisar had outperformed the Millennium City in corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending, at the inaugural Haryana CSR Summit . Meanwhile, some sought to blame lack of coordination between the district administration and corporates, for inadequate CSR contributions to government schemes.Still, in Gurugram, companies like Reliance Maruti and Hero are putting their profits into CSR. In the revised set of numbers, Gurgaon was declared ahead of Hisar by a considerable margin, with Jhajjar rounding out the top three. They are, he added, free to spend CSR funds in any part of Haryana, wherever in the state they may be located. Further, there was a wide gap between the numbers released in the evening and those made public in the morning..
