Baseline Study

CSR Baseline Study Services by Puraskrit Consultancy

At Puraskrit Consultancy, we recognize the importance of establishing a strong foundation before launching any Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. Our CSR Baseline Study Services are specifically designed to provide organizations with an in-depth understanding of the social, environmental, and economic conditions in the target communities before the implementation of CSR projects. This study serves as a critical tool for measuring the future success and impact of CSR programs, enabling informed decision-making and effective resource allocation.

What is a CSR Baseline Study?
A CSR Baseline Study is a comprehensive analysis conducted before the launch of CSR activities to understand the current conditions in the target area. It provides a benchmark that enables organizations to measure and compare the changes brought about by their CSR initiatives over time. By assessing factors such as community needs, existing infrastructure, social issues, and environmental conditions, the baseline study ensures that CSR activities are relevant, targeted, and impactful.
