If India has to become a developed nation by 2020, the
role of Rural NGOs is critical. These NGOs not only
have to look at the quality of education that children
in villages receive, the health, water and sanitation
issues at the village level, but also the income generation
& livelihood opportunities for the villages, which
will put a break on the migration rate and therefore
help in balancing the social equilibrium at the village
level.
While the bigger District level NGOs, and mother NGOs,
know how to raise funds for their programmes and interventions,
a large number of small and medium sized NGOs working
at rural level neither have the skills to raise funds
from the funding agencies, nor the knowledge on how
to deal with CSR departments or use the sustainable
development opportunities the brands / businesses would
offer.
From March 2012, Developed Nation Network Trust, an
NGO supported by IndianNGOs.com and VoiceOfBharat.org
will start a major excercise of building the capacities
of Rural NGOs on CSR Fund Raising, Working with Brands
/ Businesses, Financial Reporting, Basic Governance,
Measuring and Reporting Impact, Brand building, Sustainable
development of communities through income generation,
livelihood generation, legal and taxation issues, FCRA
...
From 26th January 2012, IndianNGOs.com and VoiceOfBharat.org
will start inviting NGOs working in districts of India
to share their programmes & interventions, and volunteering
& donation opportunities, and also do a basic research
and test of some of these NGOs on their current management
capaicities.
IndianNGOs.com will start promoting these NGOs for
direct donations by individuals, NRIs, HNIs, Funding
Agencies and Corporates.
CSR Consulting, our partner organisation, will service
corporates on NGO relations, identifying corporates
for their PRG, as well as facilitate and audit volunteering.
