This research investigates the dynamics of industrial pollution and the scope of corporate responsibility in Rajasthan. The paper explores the historical context, policies, and trends influencing environmental governance and evaluates corporate responses under regulatory frameworks. With Rajasthan's rise as an industrial hub, issues of air, water, and soil contamination became crucial, especially in districts with textile, stone, and mining clusters. This study synthesizes reports on environmental indices, analyzes government interventions, and dissects CSR activities prior to statutory CSR enactments. The findings underscore gaps in enforcement, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability, offering policy recommendations for pollution abatement and responsible corporate citizenship.
