The State CSR Corporate Awards & Conclave 2026, which took place in Bhubaneswar on April 5, bestowed the title of “Best Leader of the Year 2026 for Corporate CSR” upon Prasanna Kumar Motupalli, Chairman and Managing Director of NLC India Limited. Sustainable development, social equity, and community empowerment were the focal points of his award-winning Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. Public sector enterprises, corporates, policymakers, and NGOs gathered at the summit sponsored by Interview Times to talk about CSR strategies that transform.
Especially in areas where the project has had an impact, NLC India’s CSR efforts have grown substantially under Motupalli’s leadership in the areas of healthcare, education, skill development, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure.
Motupalli accepted the accolade on behalf of the whole NLC India staff, praising their joint efforts to execute significant CSR projects. He stressed the significance of maintaining the company’s dedication to prudent expansion and quality.
The corporation has stressed again that its CSR programs are not just about meeting legal requirements; rather, they are a vehicle for building inclusive communities and maintaining positive connections with local residents. It emphasised the importance of ongoing community interaction in establishing trust and producing quantifiable social effect.
This award further affirms NLC India’s resolve to help achieve India’s larger development objectives by bringing its CSR vision in line with the country’s aims for sustainable development and inclusive growth.
