NGOs India

India legal news reports indicate that India has possibly the largest number of active non-government, not-for-profit organizations in the world. According to a study conducted by the government in 2008, around 3.3 million NGOs exist in India. That amounts to one NGO for every 400 Indians. Let’s not forget, these are just the official figures, which reflects the NGOs registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 or the Mumbai Public Trust Act and its variants in other states. A large number of unregistered active NGOs were not part of the study.
