Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) - the commitment of organizations to balance financial performance with contributions to the quality of life of their employees, the local community and society at large - is gaining worldwide value as a business tool and social effort. The review of literature suggests that many studies have been undertaken globally to understand CSR as a subject of management but there have been very few studies undertaken to understand the other dimension of CSR which is beneficiary (community) aspect of CSR, especially in India. Here, the authors make an attempt to understand the CSR concept from both the dimensions of CSR i.e. management and beneficiaries of CSR (community). The authors try to understand the issues covered by the management and their implementing strategies in order to meet community needs. Also, the authors try to study the requirements and satisfaction of the community in the area where the corporates implement CSR.This type of attempt is the first one in India to study the community awareness and ist knowledge about CSR as well as the organisations working in the community. The present study also tries to measure the impact of CSR activities undertaken by the organizations in a way to have the sustainable development at village level. In this context, the present study plays a significant role in the field of Research Methodology, the field of management as well as social science, especially from the social work perspective. To meet the study objectives, both primary and secondary data were used. The primary data was collected in Karnataka, India by selecting nine organisations, three of each from Govt., Private and Multinational companies; those were recognised as leaders in implementing CSR activities. To understand the impact of CSR on community, 450 community respondents were also interviewed with the help of structured questionnaire. Secondary data for the study was obtained from Karmayog.

Text Sample:Chapter 4.2 Profile of Study Area:
Karnataka Geography: Karnataka is a state in the southern part of India. It is bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west, Goa to the northwest, Maharashtra to the north, Andhra Pradesh to the east, Tamil Nadu to the southeast, and Kerala to the southwest. The state covers an area of 191,976 km², or 5.83% of the total geographical area of India. It is the eighth largest Indian state by area, the ninth largest by population.
Demography: According to the 2011 census of India, the total population of Karnataka is about 61 million. Bangalore Urban is the largest district, comprising 12% of the state population, followed by district Belgaum (8 %) and Gulbarga (6%), each having a population of more than three million. Gadag, Chamarajanagar and Kodagu districts have a population of less than one million. The state had a sex ratio of 968 females per 1,000 males in 2011. The sex ratio was the lowest in Bangalore Urban district at 908, indicating relatively higher male in-migrants into the district. On the other hand, the sex ratio is over 1,000 in Udupi (1093), Kodagu (1019) and Dakshina Kannada (1018), probably indicating a relatively higher male out-migrants from these districts.
In 2011, 38% of the population lived in cities/towns, and the remaining 66% lived in villages. As per the 2011 census, Karnataka's six largest cities sorted in order of decreasing population were, Bangalore, Hubli-Dharwad, Mysore, Gulbarga, Belgaum and Mangalore. Bangalore which is the administrative head quarters of the state is the only city with a population of more than one million. The proportion urban ranges from less than 20% in Kodagu (14%), Chamarajanagar (15%), Mandya (16%), Koppal (17%), Chitradurga and Hassan (18%, each), Udupi and Chikballapur (19%, each) to more than half of the population in Bangalore Urban (88%) and Dharwad (55%) districts. 23% of the population in 2011 belonged to Scheduled Castes (SC, 16%) or Scheduled Tribes (ST,

7%). The proportion SC ranges from 10% in Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Dharwad and Uttara Kannada to more than 20% in Bangalore Rural, Chamarajanagar, Chitradurga, Gulbarga, Kolar and Chikballapur. The proportion ST is 18% each in the following districts: Bellary, Chitradurga and Raichur. In 11 districts, the proportion ST is less than 5%. The literacy rate is 75% with 82% among males and 68% among females, 85% of the urban and 68% of the rural populations being literate. The overall literacy rate ranges from 52% in Yadagiri district to 88% each in Bangalore Urban and Dakshina Kannada districts.
Regional variations: There are large inter-district variations, particularly between northern and southern districts, in all aspects of development, including health . All but one of the six districts in the state with the lowest human development index (HDI) in 2001 were in northern Karnataka. For instance, the infant mortality rate during 2001-02 was above the state average in all the northern districts, ranging from 59 per 1,000 live births in Raichur to 67 each per 1,000 in Gulbarga and Bijapur districts. The estimated life expectancy at birth in 2001 was the lowest in the northern district of Bagalkot, at 60.8 years. Not only are health outcomes poorer in northern Karnataka districts, the health infrastructure in these districts is also poorer than in more affluent southern districts. For example, there were 61 hospital beds per 100,000 population in 2001 in northern Karnataka districts compared with 85 in southern Karnataka districts.
A report by the High Power Committee for the Redressal of Regional Imbalances (HPCFRRI), constituted in 2000, further highlights the regional disparities in health infrastructure and service facilities, especially between southern and northern Karnataka. Northern Karnataka consists of districts from the former "Hyderabad Karnataka" (Bidar, Gulbarga, Raichur, Koppal and Bellary) and parts of the former "Bombay Karnataka" (Belgaum, Bijapur,
