Many companies in India now look beyond writing a CSR cheque. Employees want to see and feel the impact of their company’s giving, and NGOs value time and skills as much as funds. A well-planned employee volunteering programme can do both: it builds team spirit and pride at work while giving real, useful help to […]

The good news for beginners in India is […]
