This proposition holds good both for domestic and international set up. If we look at the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) set out by United Nations, SDG 4 deals with education goals. Since states are not able to provide and the corporate sector has been taking steps to help the state in achieving SDG. Therefore, a basic question that comes to our mind is to find out the correlation between Education and CSR through Section 135 of the Company Act. This article shall depict the extent to which, Indian Corporate have contributed towards the achievement of the SDG to provide education to the poor in urban and rural areas to make sure education for all under Art 21A becomes meaningful. This article shall also point out the issues and challenges faced in enforcing the CSR initiatives and finally comes out with recommendations and concluding remarks.
