Answered a very similar question
Their question: “Friedman's 'one responsibility of business is profit'; is CSR an unproductive diversion”
The PYQ asks whether CSR makes companies more profitable and sustainable, Nisar's Friedman-vs-CSR debate, with the 2% CSR rule, triple bottom line and 'compassionate capitalism', maps one-to-one.
Key learnings from their answer
- ›He fused live governance instruments with empathy examples in the same answer, for ethics of care (Q2A) he cited Divya Devrajan IAS learning the Gondi language for tribals, 'mohalla darbar' and 'Yogakshema'; for service quality (Q2B) he cited PRAGATI Portal, Gati Shakti, social/formal audits and outcome-output budgeting -> back each abstract ethics concept with both a named administrator's act and a current scheme, which proves the idea works on the ground and keeps it from sounding bookish.
What they cited: India's 2% CSR rule (Companies Act); Phillip Morris tobacco 'whitewashing'; Profit-People-Planet triple bottom line; 'compassionate capitalism' (Q4A) · Tata and Google office ethics culture (Q1B); Tata 'Grandpal' elderly-care CSR (Q4A)
