Poverty has since long been considered  the cause of deprivation  of  human rights around the world.   It is often argued that the “have nots” of the world do not have basic human rights because they are poor. However, the discourse on poverty would  be  incomplete if we  do not discuss the other aspect of the argument, ie: Why are people poor.

CSR is too often confused with charity. No doubt charity or philanthropic efforts are part of it but actually the concept is much broader.Shared Value can help: it encourages companies to pursue innovative market based strategy and innovation that can address persistent problems faced by the humanity.
