Introduction
Corporate social responsibility: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) also called
Corporate Responsibility, Corporate Citizenship, Responsible Business, Social Performance,
Corporate Conscience and Corporate. The adherence to CSR has not only knocked the doors
of corporate houses of developed countries but of the developing country like India too! Due
to the growing awareness among the society regarding the lawful rights of masses, the
corporate world-wide are bound to do something concrete and result-oriented regarding CSR
obligations. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is viewed as a comprehensive set of
policies, practices and Programs that are integrated into business operations, supply chains,
and decision-making processes throughout the organization -- wherever the organization
does business --and includes responsibility for current and past actions as well as future
impacts
Indian railways: Indian Railways (reporting mark IR) is a state-owned railway company,
responsible for rail transport in India. It is owned and operated by the Government of
India through the Ministry of Railways. It is one of the world's largest railway networks
comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 67,312 km (41,826 mi) and
7,112 stations. In 2015-16, IR carried 8.101 billion passengers annually or more than 22
million passengers a day and 1.107 billion tons of freight in the year. In 2014–2015 Indian
Railways had revenues of 1.709 trillion (US$25 billion) which consists of 1.118
trillion (US$17 billion) from freight and 451.26 billion (US$6.7 billion) from passengers
tickets. Railways were first introduced to India in the year 1853 from Mumbai to Thane.
Railways is the world's seventh largest commercial or utility employer, by number of
employees, with over 1.376 million employees as of last published figures in 2013. Populism
rather than business objectives continue to guide and determine the key investment decisions
and new services of Indian Railway.
Corporate social responsibility in Indian railway.
1. Housing amenities: Housing is one of the serious issues responsible for dissatisfaction
and poor industrial relation of all the requirements of the workers; cheap housing
accommodation is of great significance. The Railway employees have to live either at
wayside station with poor amenities or at big station where the pressure of population creates
shortage of housing accommodation except at abnormal rents, with the result employees
often do not get suitable accommodation unless provided by the administration.

2. Medical and health services: Today various medical
services like Hospital, Clinic, and Dispensary facilities are
provided by organization not only to employees but also
their family members. The question of adequacy of medical
and sanitary arrangements in Railways has drawn attention
of the Railways Board since 1924.xiv The Railway Accident
3. Welfare benefits-Staff Benefit Fund: Another
significant welfare scheme developed in Indian Railways
has been the Staff Benefit Fund. The Staff Benefit Fund was
established on Indian Railways in the year 1931. Ministry of
Railways have decided to modify the distribution of modify
per capita annual contribution of Rs.35/- to 315/- under Staff
Benefit Fund sanctioned vide Board’s letter under Staff
Benefit Fund is an important channel for providing
additional facilities to railway employees and their families
in the spheres of education, recreation, Medicare, sports,
scouting and cultural activities.
4. Canteen facilities: Perhaps no employees’ benefit has
received as much attention in recent years as that of canteen.
Canteen is a small cafeteria or snack bar, especially one in a
military establishment or place of work.
5. Educational facilities-Railways Schools: Railways
administration provides the facilities of primary, middle,
and high schools and colleges in those Railways colonies
where such facilities of requisite standards are not available
in or near them and the State Government or educational
organization are not willing to provide them.
6. Recreational activities: Indian Railways attaches due
importance to recreation for its employees and provides
excellent facilities through Institutes & Clubs for sports,
libraries, etc. And Holiday Homes to enable the employees
and their families to enjoy holidays at nominal expenses.
7. Retirement benefits in indian railways-a) Provident
Fund: Every Railways employee on completion of one
year’s services is entitled to join, the provident fund,
initially the Railway administrations’ contribution and
interest thereon was extended only to permanent employees,
The Provident Act, 1925, governs provident Fund and it
means that a fund in which the subscriptions of the
employees are deposited against their accounts including
interest accruing thereon.
b) Pension: Railways employees represented that the
pension scheme provides more security then the provident
fund
Need of the study
With an extensive network spread across the country, Indian
Railways plays a key role in the social and economic
development of India. In this context of Indian Railways,
action choices emanating from changes in such factors as
ownership and structure have the risk of antagonizing the
three important stake holders - the government, the railway
personnel and even the customers – who would like to see
the Indian Railways more as a not-for-profit organization.
But still it provide fruitful support through corporate social
responsibility to the India for the welfare of the society. This
study is mainly being conducted to know what kind of CSR
Practices adopted by the Indian Railway. This study will

The Analysis was done through the Quantitative tool-- t-
Test and Weighted Average Mean. Applied on the data.
Under Hypothesis 1, Weighted Average Mean is calculated
on the Actual and Disclosure Practise of Corporate Social
Responsibility Of Indian Railways. Considering the suitable
parameters of Corporate Social Responsibility with a
Sample size of 40 employees as Respondents and 60
Passengers as a Respondents The Results found that all the
Weighted Average Mean of Disclosure Practise of the
Employees and Passengers are less as compare to the
Weighted Average Mean of Actual Practise. Thus, Null
Hypothesis H0 is rejected and accept the Alternate
Hypothesis H1 because there is a significant difference
between Actual Corporate Social Responsibility Practise

Test called T-Test is used for data analytics by considering
the ten Corporate Social Responsibility parameters with two
variables that is Actual Practise and Disclosure Practise in 1

statistics value. 866 is less than t-critical value 1.73 thus,
Null Hypothesis H0 is accepted and there is no healthy
