About the Centre

The Centre for Development of Corporate Citizenship (DOCC) was established in the year 2001 with a view to mould management education in tune with the Indian context. DOCC is a unique program developed to hone management skills of future managers in social sectors and to create awareness about the need to contribute to the society. At the same time DOCC aims to enhance the managerial aspects of the social sector.

DOCC works closely with NGOs and corporates by undertaking various consultancy and research assignments. It also works as a medium between the Corporate and NGOs and strives to bring them together in contributing to the society.

The Centre for DOCC has its origins in SPJIMR's research project for ASSOCHAM, which addressed the issue of socio-economic development of rural India. Today, DOCC is one of the more successful teaching approaches, emulated by other similar initiatives.

Philosophy

The Centre was founded on the institute's philosophy of'`Value based growth' and `influencing practice'. Through DOCC we aspire to:

• Build the managerial potentials of the Institute's participants and sensitize them to Indian ethos and culture,
• Act as a medium in creating a network between NGOs and the corporate sector for sustained and enhanced impact of development processes in society.

Our Objective

• To impart management education that aims to instill respect for values in future managers.
  
• Add to the efficiency, effectiveness and structure of the NGO sector processes by lending our management learning.
  
• We aim to involve, demonstrate and create awareness of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the corporate sector.
