ABOUT THIS RECOGNITION

 


 

Arun Raj Foundation has been officially registered on the NGO DARPAN Portal, an initiative by NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) — the premier policy think tank of the Government of India. This registration assigns a unique government-issued identification number (TN/2025/0503238) to the Foundation, formally placing it in India’s centralised national database of verified non-governmental organisations.

 

The NGO DARPAN portal was developed by NITI Aayog in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). Launched in 2015, it serves as the definitive interface between voluntary organisations and key government ministries, departments, and agencies across India.


What is NITI Aayog?


ITI Aayog is the Government of India’s apex public policy think tank, established on 1 January 2015 to replace the Planning Commission. Chaired by the Prime Minister of India, it provides strategic and technical advice on national development, fosters cooperative federalism, and drives inclusive growth initiatives across the country.
This registration is a significant milestone in the Arun Raj Foundation’s ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance — core values that underpin every aspect of our humanitarian and spiritual service mission. Combined with our existing GuideStar India Discover Seal (GSN 25018), the NITI Aayog DARPAN registration further strengthens the trust that donors, volunteers, and partner organisations place in our work.
