        abstract = {This paper analyzes the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in promoting carbon sequestration in India through an in-depth examination of three prominent case studies: Tata Group, ITC Limited, and Reliance Industries. These corporations have implemented extensive environmental initiatives, including afforestation, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy projects, contributing significantly to carbon sequestration. The study evaluates the impact of Tata Group’s afforestation programs, ITC’s Climate Smart Agriculture initiatives, and Reliance Industries' renewable energy investments. Findings reveal that these CSR-driven initiatives have effectively enhanced carbon sequestration while also improving community engagement and socio-economic development. The analysis highlights key strategies adopted by these corporations, such as stakeholder participation, technological integration, and alignment with national climate policies. The paper concludes with recommendations for scaling successful initiatives, strengthening policy frameworks, and improving impact assessment mechanisms to maximize CSR contributions to India’s climate goals.},
