Companies today understand the importance of giving back by being socially responsible towards society, but with a lack of time, planning, and expertise, they fail to develop effective programs. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives at Kalinga come under Bhagwan Shri Bala Sai Educational and Charitable Society, which works on behalf of different organisations and assists them in staying ahead in sustainable and social welfare. It handles every project with transparency and accountability by identifying real social needs, developing solutions to address those challenges, working towards the cause, and measuring outcomes. The organization helps companies successfully channelise their CSR efforts by focusing on their business objectives and delivering measurable results.
It is a philanthropic organisation that is primarily involved in education and social welfare activities. The society works towards uplifting the underprivileged communities by offering them inclusive educational opportunities, healthcare facilities, and engaging in charitable activities. The society operates educational institutions, healthcare camps, scholarship programs, and other social welfare initiatives.



Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at Kalinga University aims to make a positive social and environmental impact beyond academics. Over the years, our students and faculty members have actively participated in various programs that contribute to the welfare of society. It includes healthcare camps, blood donation camps, environmental initiatives, sustainable initiatives, community-based projects, conducting educational camps or providing employment opportunities in nearby villages, maintaining a fair student policy, promoting social equality, and much more. We ensure that our students and staff members become responsible citizens and inspire others.
