How to get Government Funds for NGOs?

NGO Darpan is a portal handled and maintained by NITI Aayog and National Informatics Center. It serves as an interface between the government departments and the NGOs/VOs. This portal was earlier maintained by the Planning Commission, which was replaced with NITI Aayog in January 2015.

Any VO / NGO which is registered as a trust/ society/ a private limited non profit company, under section-25 Company of the Indian Companies Act, 1956 is eligible to get registered under Niti Aayog. No individual can apply for NGO Darpan or NITI Aayog registration.

The Unique ID generated by registering on the portal is needed when NGOs/VOs wish to have government fundings and all information related to schemes and policies of the Government.
