Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) aligns a company's social and environmental activities with business purposes and values. Companies extend help for building social infrastructure, helping local communities, improving workplace conditions for labours and economic development at large. All these activities improve company's market value and help in gaining competitive advantages over other companies in same segment. This paper presents activities extended by companies (mainly software companies) for supporting the technical education and their effect on the society. Notable CSR projects from the prominent companies have been identified and their contribution to the technical education has been presented from the Indian as a well as global perspective. All such CSR initiatives help to mitigate risks, enhance reputation and contribute to business results. At the same time, benefits to engineering students include their work experience on live project, international certifications and tag of 'industry ready' recruits. This also establishes a motivation of faculty members by upgrading knowledge through recent trends in industry, sabbaticals, and skills development programs. The over-all contribution is towards the success of technical education eco-systems.
