In Delhi NCR, the last mile connectivity is a major challenge. Metro stations are far from homes, parking at the stations a challenge.
The result: more private cars on the road and more pollution.
How can #CSR help? In more ways than probably we ever imagined
1) Allocate areas to corporates
Every area in the city could be divided into zones. These zones could be given to corporates to manage last mile connectivity and the spends could be used against the 2 percent CSR commitment
2) Electric vehicle manufacturers take over
Lots of companies are manufacturing electric three wheelers. These companies could use a few vehicles and train a few drivers for free service around a determined radius. This again could be debited to the CSR commitment of the company
3) Promote bi-cycles
Allow bicycle companies to offer cycles on rent for full days against a deposit. And develop cycle tracks which are safe. This would also help add to the health of the citizens. The bicycles could be donated by the manufacturer against his #csr commitment
4) Promote specific #csr causes and encourage companies to focus their funds
Every year, select the top most CSR causes that need the maximum support and encourage companies to invest in these causes. This will help is focusing CSR spends on select causes assuring sufficient investments that can ensure improvements
Do let me know if you have any other ideas that can help us use #csr to make our cities more commutable
