Consult district administration for spending CSR funds efficiently: Medak Collector

Saying that the government was giving enough funds for Telangana Ku Haritha Haram (TKHH), Mana Ooru Mana Badi and a few other flagship programmes, he said the industrialists must consult them for efficient spending of CSR funds.

Medak: Collector Rajahrshi Shah has asked the industrialists to donate two per cent of their profits to the district administration so that they would spend them efficiently. During a meeting with the industrialists and other officials in Collectorate on Friday, the Collector said that most of the industrialists were not providing information on CSR fund spending. Shah further said that some industrialists were spending on non-priority works without consulting them.

Saying that the government was giving enough funds for Telangana Ku Haritha Haram (TKHH), Mana Ooru Mana Badi and a few other flagship programmes, he said the industrialists must consult them for efficient spending of CSR funds. Suggesting that the industrialists spend 40 per cent of CSR funds at the local level, the Collector said that the remaining 60 per cent could be spent on important works in any part of the district. He observed that that would benefit the people at large. Additional Collectors Prathima Singh, B Ramesha and others were present.
