What is Darpan Registration?
Darpan Registration refers to the process of officially registering your NGO or VO on the NGO Darpan Portal, an online platform developed by NITI Aayog in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC). The platform was introduced in 2015 by the Government of India to create a centralized database of all registered NGOs and VOs across the country, enhancing transparency and accountability.
Once registered, NGOs gain access to a Unique Darpan ID, which is essential for accessing government grants, funding opportunities, and participating in various government schemes. The registration also ensures that your organization is recognized as legitimate and aligned with government regulations.
