Corporate Social Responsibility
CSR was once confined as a part of corporate
philanthropy, which now has changed and defined as a
“Corporate social responsibility is the commitment of
businesses to contribute to sustainable economic
development by working with employees, their families,
the local community and society at large, to improve
their lives in ways that are good for business and for
development”

The Private Sector is emerging as a development partner – now on the threshold of a new phase:
Core Business
Pro-poor business models / inclusive
markets
Developmentbenefits
Business benefits
Philanthropy
CSR / Social investment
• Contribution of financial or in-kind resources to development projects
• Social investment that facilitates business objectives and the achievement of the MDGs
• Enterprise solutions that accelerate and sustain access by the poor to needed goods and services and to income generating opportunities and that contribute to economic empowerment.
Risk
New Phase Private sector is a key development
partner
Inclusive markets – access by the poor for goods and services and to income generating activities – e.g. Amul, HL
Defining Development Priorities
Discussions – 10-15 min
India’s Development Challenges MDG compliance
Millennium Development Goals In the year 2000 a total of 189 members states(countries) of the United Nations agreed upon to achieve 8 international development goals by the year 2015India - 8 goals, 12 targets and 35 indicators
The two major goals - Goal 4 & Goal 7 are moderately off track and it is forecasted that these goals will not achievable by
India by 2015
Goals related to Children - Goal 2, Goal 4, Goal 5, Goal 7
Development Agenda Need for more focus
Declining Poverty but increasing inequality Persisting malnutrition among children Improving survival rate in primary education Gender parity in wages Improving immunization coverage Child mortality Maternal mortality Access to safe sanitation (and water) and prevention
of open defecation

Greater Impact
Development Goals
Existing CSR interventions
High impact CSR Align with development goals of the
region –metrics / development plan Use CSR investments as a catalyzing
agent for change – Low cost /high impact
Capitalize existing GOI interventions /schemes – facilitate convergence
Capacity building Measuring results

WinS in India
• 110 plus million school-going children who need sustained access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities in over 1.5 million schools across 644 districts
• Considerable progress in recent years, but
• Many schools still do not have access to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene education.
Background
In India, there are 14,12,178 schools across 644 districts.
76.36% i.e. 10,78,407 schools are government schools.
Almost half of the schools i.e. 51.6% are managed by
Department of Education.
5.25 % are managed by Tribal/Social Welfare Department.
Local bodies manage about 17.46% of schools.
Around 12,14,282 schools are located in Rural India which is
about 85.99% of total schools in the country

Water availability Dehydration
Privacy and safety Menstrual management
Equity:• Gender• Socio-economic status
• World Health Organization reports, children under three years old experience on average three episodes of diarrhea and acting as an agent for children to be extremely malnourished .
•Diarrhea caused an estimated 1,36,000 child deaths in 2012 alone. (UNICEF, 2013)
•Diarrhea is a leading cause of malnutrition in children under five years old (WHO, 2013)
•1 in 3 of the world's malnourished children lives in India. ( WHO, 2013)
•47 % of children in India are underweight and at least 16 % are wasted. (UNICEF)
Causes: Diarrhoea is a symptom of infections caused by a host of
bacterial, viral and parasitic organisms, most of which are spread by feces contaminated water
Diarrhea and its impacts in India
Open Defecation and issues of Stunting in Children
69.3% of rural India defecate in open. Research indicates that sanitation plays an important
role on child’s height (Dean Spears and Sen). Field experiments in Maharashtra have shown that children
exposed to sanitation motivation and better sanitation facilities grew taller than children who have not received it.
Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) has reduced infant mortality rate and has increased children's height.
(Spears, 2012a)
Long term impacts of Stunting (WHO) : cumulative effects of under nutrition chronic restriction of child's growth children's cognitive thinking procedure.
Why WASH in Schools ?
National Policy
• Right to Education: guarantees separate toilets for girls and
boys and safe and adequate drinking water in schools. Article
18 in 2009 The Act also suggests a safe, clean and child friendly school environment
with child centric system that fosters overall development of a child
• Supreme Court Order (2011) “It is imperative that all schools
must provide toilet facilities; empirical researches have
indicated that wherever toilet facilities are not provided in the
schools, parents do not send their children (particularly girls)
to schools’’.
What is the scale of the problem?
WinS - The Indian Scenario (1)
Huge number to reach - 1.4 million schools
Monitoring – where, how, who
Operation and maintenance – funds, system, responsibility
Sustainability Infrastructure quality Equitable access
Status of WinS in India: Drinking Water
Number of schools having drinking water facility is increased from 9.35 lakh (83.2%) in 2005-06 to 13.33 lakh (94.4%) in 2010-11

Development goal
WASH in Schools for ALL
Institutionalizing handwashing with soap before the Mid Day
Meal
Source: Fewtrell et al., 2005
Handwashing with soap: Key evidences
One-third of deaths in among children in India is due to diarrhoea and respiratory infections.
Handwashing with soap : one of the most cost‐effective interventions to prevent diarrhoeal related deaths and disease (Cairncross and Valdmanis 2006).
Handwashing at critical times (before eating or preparing food and after using the toilet ‐ can reduce diarrhoea rates by almost 40 per cent (3IE 2009).
handwashing in institutions such as primary schools and daycare centers reduce the incidence of diarrhoea by an average of 30 per cent (Cochrane 2008).
Handwashing promotion in schools: reducing absenteeism among primary school children. In China, promotion and distribution of soap in primary schools resulted in 54% fewer days of absence among students compared to schools without such an intervention (Bowen et al 2007)
What is Fit For School Innovative school health concept. Simple and modular Focus on daily skill based activities rather than
health education.(tooth brushing, handwashing, deworming)
Active involvement of non-health professionals (teachers)
Very cost effective
The concept (FIT FOR SCHOOL, Philippines)
• Children make eye contact, receive and share messages on the importance of this practice (positive aspiration), which includes all peers (equity)
• It is a fun activity
Health, attendance impact from this program
Simple designs and scalable approach
Part of school daily time table
Institutionalizing mass handwashing with soap in India
What is required: • Simple multiple handwashing stands in every school.
• Include mass handwashing with soap before MDM by all children, teachers and cooks.
• Make soaps available on a sustained basis. • Designated time before the MDM is served• Make teachers monitor this practice and SMCs responsible
for oversight. • Effective Monitoring(sms based or other methods) at the
national level - Child Cabinets can support in data validation.
Mid Day Meal provides an excellent platform to reach 110 million children in 1.4 million schools
in India

What is benchmarking? Benchmarking is a process of
Measuring performance and practices in key areas,
comparing them with best practice subsequent translation of this best
practice into use (by introducing infra, capacities, process);
leading to superior performance – Performance improvement
Benchmarking – Improving by Comparing
“BEST IN CLASS” -> TARGET
