A major hindrance in developing long-term projects under CSR is the uncertainty in the CSR budget which purely depends on the financial performance of the Company. The continuous downward trend in sugar price since the second quarter of the financial year coupled with high cost of production witnessed by the sugar industry throughout India, has jeopardised the proposed programs under CSR. In view of the financial constraints the Company was restrained from spending on various CSR activities though the Company’s intentions were to implement the CSR programs and lending a helping hand to Government.
