"Corporate Social Responsibility has come to stay as one of the significant features of Company Law in India. It has legal as well as social perspectives. Operation of a CSR programme has to be within the legal framework and it needs good understanding of the law and nuances of its interpretation. Mr Kadakia’s book would help everyone who has anything to do with the law and operation of CSR. The book, divided in 29 chapters, deals comprehensively with almost all aspects of nitty gritty of law, practice and procedure relating to CSR. In my view, the book would go a long way as a practical handbook."
