Dear Friends,
What is wrong if 100% coverage is aimed at without making it compulsory for the uncovered to enjoy due benefits / entitlements? Those who got Aadhar start using the same. Are there any privacy issues? Does any one want illegal immigrants access social benefits? Such people can be given basic human requirements on temporary basis. Separate mechanism can be designed if existing mechanisms are inadequate for them.On the question of privacy, the national objective should be to help every citizen to become an open book!

Dear Friends,
Greetings from CWS!
We are facing a typical problem with the PF department on which I would like to seek your advice. CWS functions with its partners i.e. it sub grants funds to other organizations. Under the current circumstances the PF field officer came for an inspection. He is of the opinion that CWS is responsible for the PF of the partner organizations. Kindly help me out on this and also if any case laws are there on such issues.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Dialogue Members,
Greetings from SRRF!!!
A query has been rec’d from an NGO running an orphanage in southern India. It is a society registered under Tamilnadu Societies Registration Act of 1975. An inspection was undertaken at the orphanage by ESI officials, who have claimed that orphanage is employing 12 full time staff and 7 part-time staff and have demanded that organisation pays its Contribution as per Regulation 31 of ESI General (Regulation) of 1950. The orphanage has very meagre resources and pays its staff like Aya, cook, etc. amounts ranging between Rs 2500 to Rs 7000.
I request learned members of the SRRF Dialogue Group to advise
Your expeditious advise would help the NGO take a proper recourse.
With warm regards
Ramanuj Maurya
Coordinator

Dear SRRF Dialogue members
As by now most of you would be aware that Companies Bill 2012 has been passed by both the Houses of Parliament and after getting President approval and after being notified would become law. As mentioned during the recent RoundTable as well as in the Study published by SRRF, one of the problem is that the Act permits CSR activities in a very restrictive way. It has identified only 8 categories where one CSR activities can be undertaken. These are:
We believe that above activities do not cover a large number of activities (disabilities, water & sanitation, human rights, to name just a few which immediately come to mind). Infact the whole approach would have been better had the Act taken an approach of identifying activities which cannot be undertaken. Now we will always struggle and this would create avoidable lobbies for including activities in the CSR list. Now that the Bill has already been passed by the parliament very little can be done in terms of legislative change, however rules are yet to be framed, perhaps we need to identify how rules can be made in a manner that would cover a large number of activities. SRRF is taking the initiative in this regard and would invite suggestions from its SRRF Dialogue members on how best it considers the changes can be brought in the Rules to cover a wider range of activities.
Looking forward to your active participation.
warm rgds

Dear SRRF Dialogue Members,
As you all know that SRRF organised a RoundTable yesterday on CSR and released a Report on 100 top Corporates CSR programmes. The event was well attended.
Through this post we bring all of you up to date with the Big News that Rajya Sabha has passed the Companies Bill this afternoon, since Lok Sabha had already passed the same, CSR is now officially mandatory.
We will soon also be sharing important findings of study undertaken by SRRF in this topic.
