Utilization of CSR in Skill Development by Maruti Suzuki India Limited [Formerly Maruti Udyog Ltd.] and the Employment of Trainees within the Company

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a key strategy for addressing various social challenges, including skill development, in emerging markets. In India, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, formerly known as Maruti Udyog, has been at the forefront of CSR-driven skill development initiatives. By establishing training centres and programs focused on automotive skills, Maruti Suzuki has provided local youth with the technical expertise needed to enhance their employability. This paper explores the contribution of Maruti Suzuki's CSR programs in skill development and the company's efforts to employ trained individuals within its manufacturing operations, creating a sustainable impact on both the workforce and the community.
