CSR Spending in Madhya Pradesh: Data & Trends (FY2025)

Nov 14 2026

In short: Madhya Pradesh received ₹1,195 crore in CSR funding in FY2024-25 – up 8.4x from ₹142 crore a decade earlier, one of the faster-growing states in the country. Yet MP still ranks only 12th of 37 states and UTs, taking 2.9% of national CSR despite its size and development need. The growth is real; the question for any programme here is whether the money reaches MP’s districts and tribal blocks – which is a field problem.

Madhya Pradesh sits at an interesting point in India’s CSR map: its corporate social responsibility inflow has grown fast, but off a low base, and it still punches below its weight relative to its population and development indicators. For a company running a CSR programme in MP – or a foundation funding work across its districts – the state data is the starting point, and the on-ground reality is the part that is hardest to see. Here is what the Government’s National CSR Portal shows for Madhya Pradesh. For the national picture, see our CSR spending in India hub.

How much CSR does Madhya Pradesh receive?

MP’s CSR has risen from ₹142 crore in FY2014-15 to ₹1,195 crore in FY2024-25 – an 8.4x increase, faster than the national 4x, with the sharpest jump in the most recent year.

Where Madhya Pradesh ranks

At ₹1,195 crore, MP is the 12th-largest CSR recipient among 37 states and UTs – clustered with Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, and far behind the industrial-and-metro leaders where corporate head-offices book their spend.

Rank State CSR FY2024-25 (₹ Cr)
10 Haryana 1,386
11 Andhra Pradesh 1,384
12 Madhya Pradesh 1,195
13 West Bengal 1,075
14 Jharkhand 842

The gap between MP’s share of CSR (2.9%) and its share of India’s population is the structural story of CSR geography: the money follows where companies operate, not where need is greatest.

Why on-ground verification matters most in MP

Madhya Pradesh is a large, largely rural state with significant tribal districts and a long agricultural belt – exactly the terrain where CSR is hardest to verify. A programme reported as delivered in MP may be concentrated near a few industrial towns, while the districts that most need it go unchecked. Under Rule 8(3) of the CSR Rules, large projects must be independently assessed by an agency that is not the implementer, and at MP’s scale that means reaching every block, not a convenient sample.

This is where a field network earns its keep: Anaxee’s Digital Runners operate across Madhya Pradesh and 540 districts nationwide, turning a reported CSR number into geo-tagged, timestamped proof that a school, plantation or farmer programme actually exists on the ground.
  • Field reach across MP – verification into the state’s rural and tribal blocks, not just the cities. See our field services in Madhya Pradesh.
  • Independent by design – Anaxee does not run the programmes it verifies, as Rule 8(3) requires.
  • Geo-tagged evidence – timestamped, photo-backed capture auditors and boards can rely on.
