Development of Corporate Citizenship (DoCC) is a novel initiative pioneered by SPJIMR more than 30 years ago, rooted in the belief that ‘Civil society is a learning mechanism’. As a mandatory component of the management curriculum, DoCC fosters in the participants a sensitivity to and a sensibility about various societal issues.
