Of late, we have seen many corporates engaging in CSR and taking over from the state. Many of these have also been successful business models, such as AMUL, Nestle and Pepsi’s co-operative farming in Punjab, village schools funded by private players…the list is endless and growing. However, one question remains. Is it not the duty of the State to provide such basic amenities and facilities to citizens? Be it clean water, electricity, a fair price for agricultural produce, schools, hospitals…I personally feel that every such move taken by the private sector is a slap on the State’s face, highlighting the fact that we are no more bogged down by the State’s failure in such respects. But this is not to say that the State can wash its hands off such issues and responsibilities. Instead, if the State is intelligent enough, it should care to study the models set up by the Private sector, and reform itself…
