A scam is going on in Karnataka in the name of donating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has recently flagged this “illegal” practice among corporates.
“The state’s corporates are making CSR donations to private nonprofits in other states via cheques. Of the donated amount, they’re taking back 50% in cash. This is illegal. The state’s (CSR) fund is being misused because of this”, Shivakumar made this allegation at a review meeting with all deputy commissioners and Zilla Panchayat chief executives.
