      abstract = {This book presents the authors' recent field experiences  of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in  different regions of India. It also demonstrates how social  auditing and stakeholder mapping help analyze the impact  that particular individuals or groups may have on the  functioning of any company in an area. CSR is a rapidly  growing area of research and activity, especially in  developing countries like India. An increasing number of  companies are realizing their own social responsibility,  given that they work within societal networks. As a result,  any initiation or expansion activity they carry out in  society impacts the communities around them. Given the  newness of the field, the work on CSR in India is still in  the initial stages. Most importantly, there is a need to  highlight issues concerning CSR activities using sound  methodologies and scientific data. A database comprising  qualitative and quantitative approaches collected by  tracking CSR activities is invaluable. Further the  scientific data is vital to fully understand CSR, and in  turn helps in designing appropriate and effective  interventions for improving community members' quality of  life. Accordingly, the stakeholders associated with CSR  need to have a sound knowledge of how to conduct studies  related to baseline data generation, community needs  assessments, community profiling, stakeholder mapping,  social impact assessments, monitoring and evaluation, as  well as the social auditing of CSR projects and other  related issues. This book aptly covers these issues and  offers supporting empirical evidences from the field.},
