In India the companies are adopting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices at a very fast rate due to their ethical standards as well as due to the requirements of the law. The companies are aware about their critical role in the society. The banking sector is no exception in this context. They are also adopting Corporate Social Responsibility practices. The public as well as private sector banks have already initiated many social and economic welfare programs which includes community welfare, education, environment protection, poverty eradication, health and medical care, rural area development etc. In the present study the Corporate Social Responsibility practices of banks has been studied. For this purpose, one bank from public and one from private sector has been selected. The public sector bank chosen for the study is State Bank of India and HDFC Bank has been selected from the private sector banks. The study analyzed and compared the total expenditure incurred by the banks on various Corporate Social Responsibility activities. The study found that both the banks have increased their spending on corporate social responsibility activities.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-left: -0.1pt; text-indent: -0.1pt; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.1pt;\"><b id=\"docs-internal-guid-9566be6f-7fff-011b-2411-4f2cc865c562\" style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-left: -0.1pt; text-indent: -0.1pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.1pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Keywords:<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> Corporate Social Responsibility, Banking sector, Public and Private Sector Banks<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-left: -0.1pt; text-indent: -0.1pt; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.1pt;\"><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-left: -0.1pt; text-indent: -0.1pt; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.1pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Impact Statement<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-left: -0.1pt; text-indent: -0.1pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.1pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">In the present times, Corporate Social Responsibility is of utmost importance for every organization. This paper was undertaken to study the trend of corporate social responsibility expenditure of selected public and private sector banks in India. The trend of spendings was analyzed with the help of financial tools, graphs and charts. Further, this research work assists in comparison of public and private sector banks and their sensitivity towards the society. This study helps us in evaluating the performance of public and private sector banks in terms of their Corporate social Responsibility.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-left: -0.1pt; text-indent: -0.1pt; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.1pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">About Author<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-left: -0.1pt; text-indent: -0.1pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.1pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Dr. Jagmeet Kaur is an Assistant Professor in the Post-Graduate Department of Commerce, Guru Nanak College, Sri Muktsar Sahib.
