The plain-language version, for everyone. What CSR is, why ₹61 is spent on a poor person in Bihar against ₹64,308 in Goa, and what you can do about it — no jargon.
Reports
Research the lab publishes so anyone can check the work — data, method, and the argument, open by default. First series: India's CSR system, built from eleven years of official CSR.gov.in disclosures, released while the Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 sits with a Joint Parliamentary Committee.
India's CSR Gaps — the ₹40,794 Cr system vs India@2047
Ten gaps in India's corporate social responsibility system, ranked by impact from this week's parliamentary window to the 2047 horizon. The short version: the money has solved volume, not vector.
The CSR Misallocation Index
One number per state: its share of CSR divided by its share of India's poor. Bihar scores 0.05; Goa 48.8. Sixty-one per cent of India's poor live in seven states that receive eleven per cent of the money.

How we make these reports
The full method, published: frame around a live decision, find one honest number, verify before publishing, deliver the same finding for five readers. CC-BY-SA — take it and run it on your own district.
Three things you can do
A ready letter to your MP, a request that asks what CSR did in your district, and the numbers worth sharing. Copy, edit, send — while the Bill is still with the Committee.
Your state, in one card
Pick your state and see how much corporate social spending reaches each poor person there — then download a card built for WhatsApp and LinkedIn.
Ask where the CSR money went
Three ready-to-file RTI applications — your District Collector, a public sector company, and the Ministry itself. This is how the missing district data gets built.
What people found
Citizens are asking where CSR money went in their district. Everything that comes back is recorded here, with its source — a set, never a scoreboard. Add what you found.
