Nestled along the serene Betwa River, the India Climate Collaborative, in partnership with @DAperspectives, hosted a captivating panel discussion—Nadi Kinare Chaupal. Moderated by Siddharth Bhatia, Lead- Earth Exponential at the ICC, the panel brought together CSR leaders and experts shaping climate action at the grassroots.
The panel included Hiba Choudhary (Manager - CSR, @wingify Foundation), Prabhakant Jain (Head CSR, DS Group), Venkat Jayagopi (Senior Manager, @ShaktiFdn) and Ashish Jha (Founder, @TheCSRUniverse_).
Key takeaways:
- Bridging CSR Gaps: While CSR funding grows, aligning funds with smaller NGOs demonstrating measurable outcomes remains a challenge.
- Climate Integration: Linking climate resilience to sectors like education, health, and livelihoods can drive funding and amplify impact.
- Proof of Concept: CSR seeks scalable solutions with demonstrated success, expediting funding and compliance processes.
- Grassroots Strength: NGOs play a pivotal role in bridging gaps for government schemes, ensuring adoption at the community level.
- Sustainability Focus: Long-term financial and impact sustainability, driven by community ownership, is critical for lasting change.
At #SahityaAajtak2024, went for the #KaviSammelan but missed Hariom Panwar ji at it, though some relief was Shashi Shreya ji, & Kirti Kale ji. More than this highlight was the poem ‘’Namak’’ by Anamika ji. Made my day. #sundayfunday#sundaywellspent
