After the enactment of the Companies Act, 2013 it has become mandatory for Indian companies fulfilling certain criteria to spend a part of their profits towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This paper aims to highlight the current trends of CSR contributions of select public and private sector companies in India towards promoting women empowerment. The study selected a sample of ten companies, five each from the private and public sectors, listed in the National Stock Exchange (NSE)using the study period from 2014-15 to 2021-22. A comparative analysis has been done by segregating the companies into private and public sectors. The findings of the study demonstrate that both private and public sector companies are contributing significantly through CSR contributions towards the empowerment of women in India though, not all companies make their CSR expenditures on women empowerment on a regular basis. Only two private sector companies namely HUL and ITC were spending towards women empowerment regularly out of all ten select sample companies. HUL is the top CSR spender towards women empowerment during the study period while the least CSR spender towards women empowerment among all the ten companies was RIL with no expenditure towards women empowerment. The study concludes that there is a statistically significant difference in CSR contribution made by private and public sector companies towards women empowerment during the period of study.
