Khurshid aks Indian corporates to extend social welfare measures in backward areas

Corporate affairs minister Salman<br/>Khurshid today asked India Inc to expand their social welfare<br/>measures into backward areas, including the Naxal-hit<br/>districts, to help check violence and disruptive activities.<br/> Talking to PTI, he urged greater corporate intervention<br/>towards inclusive growth.<br/> To a query whether there is a link between the rising<br/>Naxal violence and lack of Corporate Social Responsibility, he said hunger and frustration<br/>can lead to all kind of violent, non-constructive behaviour.<br/> Khurshid also said he is personally encouraging people to<br/>move forward on affirmative action, not only for SCs and STs<br/>but for all socially and educationally backward groups. He<br/>said the government is committed to do as much as it can both<br/>in terms of education and employment for the backward groups.
