NITI Aayog Registration
NITI Aayog Registration
Most government departments, CSR funders, and development agencies now ask NGOs to provide a unique NITI Aayog registration number before considering grants or partnerships. It’s not a legal license — it’s a central identity system that validates your NGO and brings transparency to how welfare funds are utilized.
If you want access to government schemes, CSR opportunities, or national-level collaborations, this registration is essential.
What is NITI Aayog Registration?
A voluntary onboarding of NGOs and social organizations on the NGO-DARPAN Portal, maintained by NITI Aayog and the Ministry of Electronics & IT. After registration, the organization receives a Unique ID (DARPAN ID) used for funding, compliance, mapping, and documentation.
