CSR activities should be seen as minimum threshold, not limitation: Piyush Goyal
The Business Guardian
|January 07, 2026
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday emphasised that the fight against malnutrition must be pursued as a collective national responsibility, involving government, corporates, communities and individuals alike.

Addressing a CSR Conclave on Nutrition organised by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in the national capital, the Minister said that eliminating malnutrition is essential for building a Viksit Bharat and securing the country’s long-term social and economic future.
Goyal said that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) provides a unique opportunity to link business with social impact, particularly in addressing malnutrition. While the law mandates companies to spend 2 per cent of their net profits on CSR activities, he said this should be seen as the minimum threshold and not a limitation.
