Corporate Social Responsibility The idea of corporate social responsibility is being widely promoted all over and rightly

so. Here is a corporate whose corporate mission embodies in itself corporate social responsibilities with the additional compulsion to make profits in order to thrive and grow which it must to fulfill its corporate social responsibilities in greater measure as time passes. PRAN has a bifocal objective of making profits through the fulfillment of corporate social responsibilities.

PRAN-RFL is a concept: away to fight poverty & hunger in Bangladesh in the shortest possible time through employment generation.

PRAN Signifies investment in agro processing: creating demands for farm produce which create jobs in rural areas also preventing urban migration. PRAN s aim to add value to agricultural harvest.

Bangladesh s comparative advantage lies in creating a competitive edge in value added agricultural products. This is what PRAN Stands for.

The !roup s major achievement has been to try to consolidate fragmented land holdings and to organi"e farmers into #contract growers of specific crops for consumption in PRAN s major processed products. $ith the elimination of the middlemen% farmers receive fair prices for their produce & due to technical assistance from the agro&processing industry' yields% (uality and income have risen considerably. )overty alleviation through profitable enterprises is now a reachable goal for many farmers. This resolution is perhaps PRAN s greatest achievement.
