Know More About NGO DARPAN / NITI AAYOG REGISTRATION
Introduction and Its Compliance
NGO Darpan is an initiative of NITI Aayog and National Informatics Centre (NIC) that enables NGOs and Voluntary Organizations (VOs) across India to associate with the Government of India (GoI). The objective of this portal is to make all information and resources of the Government of India available to the general public, to enhance transparency, efficiency, and alignment with the civil society and to implement projects in a timely and efficient manner. Any NGO seeking government grants or seeking to work with different ministries and departments are required to register on NGO Darpan. It provides a unique Darpan ID which is necessary for grant applications, and official correspondence. Lawfinity provides end-to-end support for NGO Darpan registration, enabling you to formulate accurate documentation, comply with regulations, and connect effortlessly with government departments. We ensure your NGO is rightly Registered and avail Central Schemes and Grants.
