RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
NEED ASSESSMENT STUDY FOR THE CSR INTERVENTIONS OF TOYOTA
INDUSTRIES ENGINE INDIA PVT. LTD.
Before initiating any new CSR project, an in-depth survey of the area helps to
establish the relevant conditions and needs which should be undertaken in
order to assess the future results of the project developed. Needs assessment
is a systematic process for identifying salient socio-economic and demographic
community issues, such as poverty, education, health, education,
unemployment etc.
TIEI had expressed its interest of undertaking research to establish a
benchmark for evaluating the progress of the project. The study is being
conducted by NFCSR which focuses on thematic areas of (a) Education, (b)
Livelihood (c) Health and Sanitation and (d) Environment.
The study uses a mixed methodology for the study and utilises quantitative as
well as qualitative research tools to collect data from 4 villages from Rural
Bangalore namely: Bukkasagara, Krishna Doddi, Yallamana Doddi, and
Madappna Doddi. Five field investigators from Karnataka and one field
supervisor from IICA are collecting the data from the households as well as
various stakeholders such as Gram panchayat, aanganwadi, primary health
centre and school authorities. The data will provide a snapshot of the
demographics and impending needs of the respective villages.
After the analysis of the data and establishing the needs, tangible and
actionable recommendations for implementation in the form of short term and
long-term projects would be suggested which would ensure sustainability.
