NGO DARPAN is a digital platform launched by NITI Aayog to enhance the transparency and credibility of NGOs and voluntary organizations operating in India. It provides a Unique Identification Number (UIN) to registered entities, enabling them to establish a recognized presence in the government ecosystem. This registration is crucial for NGOs seeking government grants, CSR funding, and collaborations with various ministries and departments. By streamlining interactions between NGOs and the government, NGO DARPAN ensures better governance, accountability, and accessibility to various schemes and initiatives aimed at social development.
NGO DARPAN is an initiative by NITI Aayog, designed to create a centralized database of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Voluntary Organizations (VOs) operating in India. It provides a Unique Identification Number (UIN) that helps NGOs build credibility, access government grants, and foster better collaboration with public and private sector entities. This registration is essential for organizations seeking funding, partnerships, and official recognition from government bodies.
Registered NGOs must regularly update their details, financial records, and progress reports, ensuring accountability and preventing misuse of funds. This initiative also helps the government track the performance of NGOs, ensuring that funds are utilized effectively for social causes.
NGO DARPAN registration helps organizations qualify for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding from private companies. Additionally, it simplifies compliance for NGOs planning to receive foreign contributions under FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act), making it easier to attract international funding.
Being registered on NGO DARPAN gives organizations exposure to government bodies, corporate donors, and potential partners. It helps NGOs showcase their projects, achievements, and impact, opening doors for new funding opportunities and collaborations.
