There are about 33 lakh non-profit organizations registered in India, however, there is no broad based common platform for the Indian NGOs. A separate website (www.novoi.org) has been launched for creating knowledge sharing platform for Indian NGOs. This platform is intended to serve NGOs, volunteers, interns, donors and professionals interested in social work. It will provide an opportunity to share their experiences, facilitate multiplication of good work, minimize repetition of mistakes or duplication of efforts, create consensus on social issues and strive for collective efforts.
The salient features of this website are
- Create a central digital resource for Indian NGOs: It will provide an easily accessible on-line database of Indian NGOs, Funding Agencies (national and international), CSR companies, Government Laws/ Schemes, Digital Library, NGO Handbook, etc.
- Free to use: Like Wikipedia, it is free and open for interaction and contribution.
This is an ambitious project. For its success we seek your active participation by:
