Best comment, sir. Charity should primarily focus on skill development, education and training and not as mundane as a free meal, clothes, subsidized housing or other material necessities - except for physically or mentally incapable.
All these top philanthropic donors of India donates 25-75% of their wealth as per media. but we did not hear any news how and where the money is spent? who are the real beneficiaries?
We can bet on philonthrophy by TATA's to some extent; while all others are selfish as they seeker of all tax benifits from Govt.'s scheme's.
In fact, most of our business-men are corporate "criminals" and hypocrates to the core.
UPA II made compulsary CSR for welfare of community, resulting they making tall claims of donation while hiding the huge tax benifits they claim with IT benifit like 80G 35AC I, II & many other sections.

Are you taking of that Tata who used money and influence to get a yes-man as Telecom minister in your favorite UPA-II govt? He is not heard describing cookie recipe on phone to Niira Radia and he has never even disputed the contents of the phone conversation. All he says is that his privacy is breached by making these tapes public.
As expected, none of the Ambani brothers figure on this list of givers. They belong to the list of takers. Maybe they have found a way to carry their wealth beyond the grave.

Absolutely correct! They have the fear of falling down in ranks of the wealthiest if they do philanthrophy
Why is Shibulal included in this group? He is donating only Rs.36 crore while the others are giving away literally thousands of crores. It is like when others are donating Rs.100, Shibulal is donating one paisa.
