NGO (Non Government Orgnisation)

The Societies Registration Act, 1860 is a law that allows the registration of entities that benefit society, such as those involved in education, health, and employment. The act was first published in British India on May 21, 1860. Its purpose was to improve the legal conditions of societies that promote literature, science, fine arts, or charitable causes.

Nongovernmental organization (NGO), voluntary group of individuals or organizations, usually not affiliated with any government, that is formed to provide services or to advocate a public policy.

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. They are sometimes called civil society organizations and are established on community, national, and international levels to serve a social or political goal such as a humanitarian cause or the protection of the environment.

For example, NGOs might focus on activities in areas involving health or health emergencies, education, infrastructure, advocacy of minority rights, support of the poor, and the reduction of crime.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) seek to improve social and political problems locally, nationally, or internationally. They work outside the frame of the government, are usually not-for-profit, and can obtain tax-exempt status if they meet certain criteria.
