contents <p><span><span>              </span>Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has increasingly emerged as a fundamental element of corporate governance and strategic planning, particularly in quickly developing nations like India. The combined influences of regulatory requirements and global sustainability initiatives, especially the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), have created an advantageous environment for collaborative execution. Despite the evident thematic alignment between CSR programs and SDG targets, a notable gap in implementation remains in practice. This study rigorously analyses the alignment, integration, and effectiveness of CSR in promoting the SDG agenda within the Indian corporate sector. This research conducts a thorough analysis of CSR filings, bolstered by qualitative case studies of prominent corporations and a mapping framework aligned with SDG indicators, revealing the intricate disparity between corporate objectives and actual development impacts. The results indicate fundamental problems in project design, monitoring systems, stakeholder involvement, and the strategic vision for CSR execution. In conclusion, the paper presents a comprehensive approach and practical recommendations designed to convert CSR into a significant catalyst for sustainable development and a credible ally in achieving the SDG 2030 agenda.</span></p>
