List of research funding agencies for Indians

NGO DARPAN 

The NGO DARPAN was earlier maintained by the erstwhile Planning Commission, which has been replaced by the NITI Aayog w.e.f. 1st January 2015. The Portal, therefore, is being maintained at present by NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog invites all Voluntary Organizations (VOs)/ Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to Sign Up on the Portal.

The Portal facilitates VOs/NGOs to obtain a system-generated Unique ID, as and when signed. The Unique ID is mandatory to apply for grants under various schemes of Ministries/Departments/Governments Bodies.
