FAQs

Sasken's CSR strategy is built on a simple principle: create measurable, long-term impact through sustained partnerships rather than one-time donations. Every CSR initiative is aligned to clearly defined social outcomes, monitored through quantitative performance indicators, and governed through transparent financial disclosure and impact measurement.  

During FY 2025–26, Sasken’s CSR programmes reached communities across education, healthcare, nutrition, women's empowerment and elderly care through five flagship initiatives: 

• Morning Nutrition Programme: More than 13,000 school children received nutritious breakfasts, improving attendance and classroom readiness.

• Project Skill Development: 1,081 underprivileged students received employability training, with 50to 60% securing employment across retail, banking, IT support and hospitality. Independent Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis shows that every ₹1 invested creates ₹25.75 of measurable social value through higher incomes and long-term economic empowerment.

• Project NAYANA: Sasken’s rural eye-care partnership delivered 4,500 screenings, 1,000 laser treatments, 488 Anti-VEGF injections and 451 corrective surgeries during FY2025–26. Across two years, the programme has enabled 8,626 screenings and over 3,900 sight-restoring clinical interventions, with an SROI of ₹8 of social value generated for every ₹1 invested, reflecting preserved livelihoods, improved quality of life and reduced healthcare inequity.

• Project SEWA: Continued support for women's economic empowerment through established community institutions, strengthening financial inclusion and livelihood opportunities.

• Joy of Giving: Delivered 54,545 meals annually to elderly beneficiaries, reinforcing dignity and social care.

Financial Accountability:

Financial stewardship is embedded into Sasken's CSR governance. Rather than measuring success only by CSR spend, Sasken evaluates how effectively investments translate into sustainable social outcomes.

Sasken’s CSR governance framework includes:

• Annual CSR financial disclosure aligned with the Companies Act and ESG reporting frameworks.

• Board-level CSR Committee oversight on programme selection, funding and compliance.

• Partnerships with established NGOs and institutions having demonstrated execution capability.

• Outcome-based monitoring using beneficiary counts, employment rates, healthcare interventions and independent Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodologies.

• Transparent reporting of achievements, challenges and programme continuity, ensuring stakeholders can assess both resource utilization and social impact.

This approach reflects a shift from measuring "how much was spent" to "what lasting value was created." By combining rigorous financial governance with measurable impact indicators, Sasken ensures that every CSR investment contributes to meaningful, sustainable community development while maintaining full accountability to stakeholders.
