As many as 19 companies will be given National Corporate Social Responsibility Awards (NCSRA) by the government next week, Ministry of Corporate Affairs on Friday said.
The 19 companies have been selected from a total of 528 entries. Based on the submissions by the companies and reports of the independent assessment by CSR experts, jury recommended 19 winners and 19 honourable mentions across the three award categories.
The three award categories are corporate awards for excellence in CSR, corporate awards in CSR in challenging circumstances and awards based on contribution to National Priority Schemes.
The award for outstanding contribution in area of corporate social responsibility (CSR) will be presented by President Ram Nath Kovind on October 29, the ministry said in a release.
The award instituted by the ministry is the highest recognition in the domain of corporate social responsibility by the government, it added.
