70% of India Inc plans to increase their CSR funding towards skilling/education in 2022: states TeamLease EdTech
Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: TeamLease EdTech, India’s leading learning solutions company, today, launched their latest survey, “Aligning education and skilling in the CSR agenda”, a detailed survey analyzing how India Inc. is spending their CSR funds within the education/skilling cohort, key challenges in the process and the future aspirations of organizations while aligning their CSR agenda. According to the survey, which was conducted with over 100 companies from across India, nearly 70% expressed an intention to increase their CSR spending in education/skilling in the next fiscal. Incidentally, the majority of these companies want to allocate funds towards imparting vocational skills, which is the need of the hour to address the rising unemployability.

The survey indicates that companies are keen to dedicate funds towards projects that can create the maximum impact and according to the key findings, companies are directing the majority of their funds towards imparting employability skills to School or College Dropouts (22.8%), Women (20.4%), and People with Disabilities (18%).

Commenting on the findings and the ecology, Shantanu Rooj, Founder & CEO, TeamLease EdTech, said, “India does not have a job crisis rather a skill crisis – we don’t have enough employable talent to cater to the jobs that are there. Multiple measures have been taken to improve our education, but it is yet to solve the impending skill gap. We also face a high dropout crisis in higher education, further impacting employability. It is welcoming to see that corporates are looking at further increasing their spending in education/skilling- close to two-thirds of the respondents are planning to invest further. The investments coupled with active participation will help in addressing the gaps and enable our youth to beat the root cause of poverty- unemployment.”

A comprehensive analysis of the survey also captures the current ecosystem; as per the survey 95.83% of companies direct their CSR funds towards Education, Vocational Skilling, Livelihood Improvement, followed by 50% for Health, Eradicating Hunger, Poverty and Malnutrition, Safe Drinking Water, and Sanitation. Close to 45.83% of funds are also dedicated to initiatives that promote Gender Equality, Women Empowerment, Old Age Homes, Reducing Inequalities. In fact, organizations that divulge their funds into multiple arenas also dedicate a portion towards education – 46% of the respondents stated that they deploy more than 50% of their funds towards Skilling and Education. While the intention and efforts are quite strong, companies are confronted with many challenges, especially while implementing their CSR programs.

However, many organizations have been facing pertinent challenges while implementing their CSR programs. Elaborating on this, Neeti Sharma, Co-Founder & President, TeamLease EdTech, said, “Accessibility, infrastructure, deployment continues to be a concern for companies. 70% companies mentioned that connecting the right candidates to the right opportunities is their major perplexity. Additionally, 42% attributed to lack of infrastructure as a cause for distress. Even the pandemic hindered organic implementation of the CSR programs, especially reverse migration.”

The good news is that the optimism for CSR programs towards skilling and education is expected to continue in 2022. 85% companies have already revamped their CSR initiatives, aligned to COVID impact. Moreover, 80% companies have taken up special initiatives already to monitor and measure impact closely and 40% are even spending more to analyze impact better.
