The World Business Council for Sustainable Development in its publication, Making Good Business Sense, has stated that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large. The paper discusses that for sustainable development of business and the industry, it is a must that the Corporates, actively and benevolently, indulge in CSR activities. Section 35 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Schedule VII to the Act, gives details about Corporate Social Responsibility. The paper discusses, how CSR was a need but has now become a necessity, post the Covid-19 Pandemic. The organizations should understand and focus on being sustainable. That is not only the organizations should be economically viable but also have a positive impact on the society. The Covid-19 Pandemic has been largely disruptive not only in India but for the global economy as well. While coping with the distress that the Pandemic has unleashed, a large number of families have fallen into indebtedness and made distress sale of assets; many families were forced even to reduce food intake leading to nutritional distress. The paper discusses that this is where large corporations, by means of CSR, can help in reviving the economy at a much faster pace.

The pandemic's outbreak has had a long-term impact on India's small and cottage industries, particularly agriculture. The purpose of this research was to see how COVID-19 affected the agro-based industry in Panchgani, Maharashtra, during the lockdown. It investigates how the lockdown has affected agriculture and agro-based sector production. It also aims to figure out how the research area's impact on dairy farming and cheese production. Agro-based industries are those that rely on agro-products as a source of raw materials. In Panchgani, the agro-based industries "Pure Gold" and "Pure Berry's" are the most prominent. I believe that the producers have suffered losses as a result of transportation and selling of their goods. Farmers had to raise losses in the case of milk and agricultural goods due to price drops during the lockdown. Industry had to deal with a debt issue and postpone short-term investment decisions. As a result, experts estimate the cost of the COVID-19 lockdown at 4% of GDP. The industry's long-term viability has been assessed using both primary and secondary data. During this pandemic, net profit drops by 15% to 20%.

This paper aims to identify the common characteristics of pandemic-related fraud and any threats specific to pandemics and financial crises most similar to COVID-19 in modern times. The study's findings outline several novel crime types and tactics that have emerged during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and have never been seen before. Advances in technology, and operations by enforcement of law and government guardians. Many scams appear regardless of the state of the economy, but some specific scams, particularly internet scams, appear during pandemics. Similarly, economic crises uncover certain previously undetected scams, while economic crises drive scams that stem from and cause bankruptcies. The report examines primary data and secondary data. Primary data was collected from the questionnaire method using online Google forms and circulated in the Mumbai region.

Scams using phishing and supply. Scammers pose as health organizations and businesses to get personal and financial information, as well as offer counterfeit COVID-19 test kits, supplies, vaccines, and remedies. Scams involving stimulus checks or economic help. According to reports, the government will assist in mitigating the virus's economic impact by giving money by check or direct deposit. The government, on the other hand, will not ask for a charge or personal or account information in exchange for the monies. Scams involving charities. Fraudsters solicit funds for fictitious or non-existent charities. Malware distribution via "virus-tracking apps" or sensationalized news reports. Scams involving service providers. Scammers pose as doctors or hospital employees and call victims, claiming to have treated a family member or friend with COVID-19 and demanding payment. Bank workers falsely claim that banks are restricting deposit access or that bank deposits are unsafe. Scams posing as "research papers" claim that publicly traded corporations' products or services may prevent, diagnose, or cure diseases. COVID-19.
