ABSTRACT
Sikkim, with its distinctive cultural and social environment, presents a context where CSR awareness and engagement may be influenced. The objectives and cultural aspects of the local community have a substantial impact on how corporations see and carry out corporate social responsibility initiatives. This study delves into the examination of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) awareness among local residents in the East District of Sikkim, recognizing them as key stakeholders within the framework of stakeholder theory, as they directly benefit from CSR initiatives. A survey was conducted among local residents in the East District of Sikkim, with 180 valid responses analyzed for this study. The research focuses on thematic areas included in Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013's Schedule VII including education, health, eradicating hunger, heritage, sports encouragement, women empowerment, environment, and rural development, to achieve its objectives. The study finds that respondents' awareness of several CSR characteristics varied significantly. However, no statistically significant differences in awareness were observed based on respondents' gender. This research contributes to enhancing local residents' understanding of various CSR initiatives in the State of Sikkim. By assessing CSR awareness levels, the study also provides valuable insights for companies looking to participate in CSR initiatives within the State of Sikkim
