Harsha Mukherjee is as possionate about CSR as a painter is about her art or musician about their music. After years of following up with the developments that have shaped the evolution of corporate social responsibility legislation and practices and its teaching, internationally and in India, she has put together a primer that is concise, an executive's handbook and a learner's delight.
