Samhita provides a wide range of CSR related services which can be executed independently of or in combination with, each other. We offer clients the option of deciding exactly how much the company involves itself with social initiatives – from a light-touch approach to an intensive involvement.
Our service engagements involve a high amount of customization based on the client’s need and we often offer related services connected with those mentioned below, though not specifically listed. For example, in addition to the services listed below, we offer corporates the ability to create online social awards campaigns on www.samhita.org, where we invite online applications from NGOs and select NGOs based on criteria that may be mentioned by the client.
