How to start a charity, trust or NGO in India
87
If you care for others and have desire to be your own boss, running an NGO may give you self satisfaction of serving poor people as well as running an organization.Thousands of non-government/non-profit organizations are working in India with the objective of rendering social service and extending help to the poor sections of societies which are deprived of resources, uneducated and unaware of different programs run by the government for their welfare. These NGO's are provided financial help by the Government to help them in their social activities targeted for upliftment of poor people. These organizations help government to implement its program like AIDS awareness, eradication of illiteracy, combating spread of diseases and improving social living conditions of the poor people. In principle, these organizations work for a noble cause but there are few among these who misutilize the government fund for accomplishment of their self interests.

Sir, I am instrested in knowing which Govt.of India ministry , OR Govt. and semi Govt.bodies,awards grants and funds to NGO`S?
Project proposals are invited either by the ministries or by local administration. NGOs have to submit project proposals. After approval of the proposals, funds are released in installments based on the progress of the work. NGO has to be registered as shown in the hub and has to work for 2-3 years to become eligible for finance from the government.

Your NGO or Trust has to be registered officially and its activities need to be well documented to get noticed by financial authority. It is general practice to allot funds to registered and reputed NGOs by the financial bodies. Registration and past performance is per-requisite to get finance from Govt. agencies. Even this requirement has to be fulfilled for submission of project. project proposals are usually invited on a prescribed format available with the funding agency.
sir, we r in the process of starting an NGO, and initially like to take medical camps, like projects in remote areas, as we have many interested doctors, in contact. i want to know is there any legal difficulty in taking such(medical), projects at the start itself?

Hi
This is Ameya from Bangalore. Thanks for such a detail article.
Me and my friends are planning to award a scholarship to a deserving student of our alma mater, in memory of one of our late batch-mates. At this time, we have decided to award it to only one student per year. Our plan is to collect fund _one_ time, maintain it as an FD in a bank, and award the scholarship from the interest amount.
My question is, do we have to form a trust (or NGO or a society) ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Ameya
