DEFINITION & SCOPE
Corporate Social Responsibility is defined as operating a business that meets or
exceeds the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations that society has of
business.
Corporate social responsibility is not a new concept in India. However, what is
new is the shift in focus from making profits to meeting societal challenges. Now -
a-days, employees are actively participating in the social activities even on
holidays. This is mainly because employees feel a sense of pride when they are
involved in such activities. Moreover, companies are having dedicated
departments for CSR.
Giving a universal definition of Corporate Social Responsibility is bit difficult as
there is no common definition as such. However, there are few common threads
that connect all the perspectives of CSR with each other; the dedication to serve
the society being most important of them. Most ideal definition of Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) has been given by World Business Council for
Sustained Development which says, Corporate Social Responsibility is the
continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to
economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce
and their families as well as of the local community and society at large.
Thus, the meaning of CSR is two fold. On one hand, it exhibits the ethical
behavior that an organization exhibits towards its internal and external
stakeholders (customers as well as employees). On the other hand, it denotes the
responsibility of an organization towards the environment and society in which it
operates.

INTRODUCTION
This study aims at finding out the prevailing Corporate Social
Responsibility(CSR) of the company (Tata Steel). It is intended to explore the
various factors that determine the Corporate Social Responsibility. The results
interpret the special continuing responsibility of the company towards the people
of the area in which it is located.
Such a study will increase the understanding of the corporate social
responsibility, which exists among the company and the society in its educational,social, economic context. This interplay and intertwining socio-political and
economic forces and resultant growth of the specific pattern of social interaction
giving rise to the corporate socio climate constitute of very important theme of
study for the student of Social sciences and education.
The finding will be useful for corporate managers, administrators and other
research works who are concerned with the philosophy and practices of corporate
social responsibility. This will enable them to understand the problems concerned
with the socio part of the corporate and to introduce innovations in this field so
that the national goals and objectives of corporate social responsibility are
achieved.

SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY 8000 SA 8000
Social Accountability 8000 (SA8000) has been developed by Social
Accountability International (SAI), known until recently as the Council on
Economic Priorities Accreditation Agency.
It was released in October 1997, SA 8000 standard is the first global standard.
SAI is a non-profit affiliate of the Council on Economic Priorities (CEP).
SA8000 is promoted as a voluntary, universal standard for companies interested in
auditing and certifying labour practices in their facilities and those of their
suppliers and vendors. It is designed for independent third party certification.
SA8000 is based on the principles of international human rights norms as
described in International Labour Organisation conventions, the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
It measures the performance of companies in eight key areas:
1. Child labour,2. Forced labour,3. Health and safety,4. Free association and collective bargaining,5. Discrimination,

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
OBJECTIVES
y To ensure that all the legal compliances with respect to SA 8000 aremet by the contractors and to ensure that the contractors are following
the guidelines of SA 8000.
y To assess the level of awareness of SA 8000 guidelines amongcontract labourers and suggest measures to improve it.
UNIVERSE:
The universe comprises of 30156 contract labourers of Tata Steel .
SAMPLE SIZE
The sample size refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe toconstitute a sample.
In 2010-2011 we will conduct the survey in RLTC(Rotary Labour Training
Centre) at Sakchi where laborers come for medical check ups and for renewal of
their safety training across all departments and irrespective of their contractors.
We have used the Sample Size Calculator for calculating the sample size. By
taking a confidence level of 95% and confidence interval of 2.5%, we got a
sample size of 1500.
Experts like Dr. Jittu Singh(XLRI), Mr.Uttam Singh (Chief I-Blast Furnace) &
Mr. Prakhar Mishra (Chief A-F Blast Furnace) had also advised us to take a
sample size of 5% which is around 1500 .

.The universe has been further sub-divided into stratas depending upon the area of
work and the nature of work of the labourers. The sample is taken on an equally
proportionate basis so that the sample becomes truly representative of the
population.
SAMPLING METHOD:
The method of sampling used is stratified random sampling.
Stratified random sampling is a method of sampling, which involves the division
of a population into smaller groups, known as strata. In stratified random
sampling, the strata are formed based on their members sharing a specific attribute
or characteristic. A random sample from eac h stratum is taken, in a number
proportional to the stratum's size when compared to the population. These subsets
of the strata are then pooled to form a random sample.
This method is adopted in order to give us a true picture of the
population/universe...
TYPES OF DATA
Entire research work will be focused on collection of data, interpretation of data,
and analysis of data. Therefore the research will be carried out by using mainly
primary data.
SOURCES OF PRIMARY DATA
Questionnaire method: The main instrument for the collection of primary
data is questionnaire method. The questions will be prepared mainly related
to this topic.

OVERVIEW OF TATA STEEL
Tata Iron & Steel Company Ltd. (TISCO) is the iron and steel production company
associated with the Tata group of some 80 different industrial and other business
enterprises in India, founded by members of the Tata family. TISCO operates as
India's largest integrated steel works in the private sector with a market share of
nearly 13 percent and is the second largest steel company in the entire industry. Its
products and services include hot and cold rolled coils and sheets, tubes,
construction bars, forging quality steel, rods, structurals, strips and bearings, steel
plant and material handling equipment, ferro alloys and other minerals, software
for process controls, and cargo handling services. Through its subsidiaries, TISCO
also offers tinplate, wires, rolls, refractories, and project management services.
Tata's Early Beginnings in the 1800s
The story of TISCO is the story of one family or, more accurately, one man whose
vision and determination to give India a modern industrial economy h elped
provide a platform for the country's independence half a century after his death. At
the same time, he helped create what was by 1970 India's biggest nonpublic
enterprise. Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata was born into a well-to-do family of

Bombay Parsees in 1839. The Parsees, a religious minority group, had carved a
niche for themselves in business, in this case in the economy of Victorian India,
which was dominated by British interests and was being developed as a client
imperial economy. Tata's father was a successful merchant with interests in the
cotton trade to Britain. Tata joined the family business after an education at
Elphinstone College in Bombay and was sent to Lancashire, England, in 1864 to
represent the firm there. This was to be the first of many travels in Europe, North
America, and the Far and Middle East during which he formulated his ideas on the
best strategy to realize his own ambitions for success in business and to contribute
to the economic development of India. Tata's own background was in cotton
production. He believed that mills could function successfully in India in close
proximity to the cotton-producing areas in the west of the country, thereby putting
them in a strong position to undercut their Lancashire competitors. He obtai ned air
conditioning equipment from suppliers in the United States and the latest cotton
spinning machinery installed to provide the optimum climatic conditions for
spinning. His early ventures showed promise and in 1874 he founded his first
company, the Central India Spinning, Weaving and Manufacturing Company.
Three years later, on the same day that Queen Victoria was declared empress of
India, he opened the Empress mill in Nagpur. As Tata was taking his first steps
toward establishing a viable cotton spinning business, Indian nationalism also was
beginning to find a focus for its aspirations through the Indian National Congress.
Tata was present at its inaugural meeting and his devotion to the cause of an
independent India was undoubtedly a motivating fac tor in his own drive for
success in business. Cotton was only a start. From his travels in other
industrialized nations he had come to identify three essential elements for a
modern industrial economy: steel production, hydroelectric power, and technical
education. Although he did not live to see any of his schemes in these areas come
to fruition, he laid the foundations on which his sons, and then later generations of
his family, were able to build to realize his ambitions.

Tata Steel was established by Indian Parsi businessman Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata
in 1907 (he died in 1904, before the project was completed). Tata Steel introduced
an 8-hour work day as early as in 1912 when only a 12-hour work day was the
legal requirement in Britain. It introduced leave-with-pay in 1920, a practice that
became legally binding upon employers in India only in 1945. Similarly, Tata
Steel started a Provident Fund for its employees as early as in 1920, which became
a law for all employers under the Provident Fund Act only in 1952. Tata Steel's
furnaces have never been disrupted on account of a labour strike and this is an
enviable record.
CAPACITY EXPANSION OF TATA STEEL
Tata Steel has set an ambitious target to achieve a capacity of 100 million tonne by
2015. Managing Director B. Muthuraman stated that of the 100 million tonne, TataSteel is planning a 50-50 balance between greenfield facilities and acquisitions.
y Overseas acquisitions have already added up to 21.4 million tonne, whichincludes Corus production at 18.2 million tonne, Natsteel production at two

million tonne and Millennium Steel production at 1.2 million tonne. Tata is
looking to add another 29 million tonnes through the acquisition route.
