Giving Back To Society

Giving Back To Society: "Bill Gates is often made a target for many jokes and snide remarks. But if there is one thing that has silenced the most vociferous of his critics, it is his act of giving back to society.

In fact the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funds several projects in the areas of healthcare and education globally. Other IT biggies too have set aside a part of their earnings for charity. Closer home, Azim Premji of Wipro and Narayan Murthy have foundations working for social upliftment at large.
