As per section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, CSR initiatives are a mandate for all qualifying companies in India. As a responsible member of society, working towards the upliftment of society and the general well being of the environment; fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility for sustainable development is more than just a legal mandate for companies. It should be acknowledged as a moral responsibility for all business entities. After all, businesses flourish only in a flourishing society and environment.
There are countless benefits of corporate social responsibility to society. And companies can use their CSR funds under numerous pillars to fulfil their responsibility towards building a better society, and sponsoring environmental sustainability is one of them.
India is a power excess country but the lack of infrastructure still has left millions living in the darkness. For them, power remains a distant dream. To mitigate the complexities of connecting these remote villages to the main power grids, independent solar systems can be a suitable solution to bring power to their homes. The Government of India has a target to make India a 100GW solar-powered nation by the year 2022, and to meet its growing power demand in an environmentally friendly manner. Various international agencies including the World Bank have offered funds to aid India in its mission to solarize the country.
At MYSUN, we very much support the vision of ‘Power For All’ and strongly believe in the application of solar power to bring power to the remotest of locations. To achieve this goal, MYSUN has partnered with the Mon Ami Foundation, a registered non-profit trust, to help Corporates use their CSR funds to establish solar power projects for the underprivileged and the unconnected across India. Together, both MYSUN and Mon Ami believe that energy is a necessity and when available abundantly in the form of solar energy, no one should remain deprived of its utility.
