This document discusses opportunities for corporations to partner with Rotary clubs on corporate social responsibility initiatives under India's Companies Act of 2013. The Act requires large companies to spend 2% of profits on CSR activities, which include areas like education, health, sanitation, and conservation that align with Rotary's focus areas. Partnering with Rotary provides companies transparency in fund usage, as well as access to Rotary's experienced volunteer network and project implementation capabilities.
