During the course of its journey from a small enterprise or a start-up to becoming a big conglomerate, a typical company has to deal, partner or engage with various stakeholders including government, employees, vendors, suppliers, investors, shareholders, customers, other firms and even the society at large. Society is a part of the business ecosystem, and until the enforcement of CSR Act, they were not given their due importance by the corporate sector despite the fact that the growth of any industry is not possible without active support from society. Therefore, the objective of the Government while passing the law was to ensure that corporate sector partners with public sector in solving India’s complex social development issues.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) professionals are in demand, but many people lack the training that could prepare them for ICT jobs. Worldwide, all industries are experiencing a shortage of people who are qualified to design, install, secure, and manage their computer networks. But many people lack the knowledge and practical experience that could prepare them for these in-demand jobs. In addition, the ways in which we teach and learn need to reflect our technology-driven society and incorporate tools that can enrich the learning process and inspire deeper student engagement.
