What is NGO Registration?

A Non-governmental organization (NGO) is a group that functions independently of any government with the objective of improving social conditions. NGOs are typically non-profit institutions or an organization.

NGOs might focus on various activities including health, education, infrastructure, advocacy of minority rights, and support for the poor, and crime reduction. They also play a crucial role in international development, aid, and beneficence. NGOs are funded through private donations, membership dues, and government grants.
