CSR As A Career Option

auotopsy
Hello,
I am a HR professional working for 7 years in the industry, recently I have got opportunity to get to work in rural areas/villages as a part of CSR initiative of my organization. My question is Is Corporate social responsibility a different field of profession, particularly in India? If yes what are the different career avenues in this field?
Thanks

Good to learn that CSR is given importance in organizations in terms of business strategy, I was also searching for any professional course/diploma programme in our country which trains you to become CSR professional for business/management. However, I was not able to find any...may be CSR is still in developmental phase in India and only people working with CSR oriented organization may be able to carve out a professional career out of the same (Meaning mainly on the job experience is the main career maker in CSR field today)
