Social Responsibility


Social responsibility is a state subject, the state collects money from the people in the form of taxes and spends on the welfare of people and infrastructure in the form various developmental program. Some how the programs are not reached or inadequate to some sections of the society. This gap is been filled by the other sections of the society like industries, welfare organizations, voluntary organizations (VO), non-governmental organizations (NGO) and individuals. Nevertheless it doesn't mean that individuals shouldn't have the responsibility, as a social beings its everyone duty.

The gathering of material wealth shouldn't be more important than the welfare of society, they have to be balanced together since both are important.

Why it is important?
We live in a society which is globalized completely we cant live alone isolated. If someone one is hungry on a part of the world then food is transported from the other part or if it a technology developed at one place then the results are used everywhere like the invention of light or mobile phone. So, its our responsibility to work for the betterment of the society. A better society means a better living for us and our family.

How we can contribute? Do social work while you do your job.
Time and money are the two most important things to contribute. We all have skills in our specific area which others may not have, this can be utilized for the betterment of society. Just money can not be so useful if they have not been spend in the efficient manner and for that a proper plan has to be required and for that it costs even time. Right person for the right task is something which is possible when we pay for the work but if persons from every field are able to contribute their time then most of the social work will become fruitful. Therefore every person of the society should consider to contribute some time and if possible some money.

Even the guidance to mentally retarded or needy people who donot have a proper route to lead a common life can be regarded as social  contribution.
