School education is a popular subject for CSR: a study by Samhita Social Ventures, based on publicly available information from the top 100 listed companies, shows that more than three-quarters of them implemented at least one programme in education over the last three years.
While it is encouraging to have this scale of corporate participation, the efforts are skewed thereby creating an imbalance in the sector. For example, as shown in the graph, more than half the companies provide support to schools through donation of infrastructure and learning material and a similar proportion provide scholarships in cash and/or kind.
