New Delhi
India has about 3.2 million registered Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) – that is more NGOs per capita than hospital beds in the nation. They organise numerous programs to deal with issues such as progress and well being of children, youth, young girls, women, people with disabilities and inassisted members of the geriatric population. Neil Verma, a student who resides in New Delhi, has been intimately functioning with several NGOs. Over a prolonged tenure of time that he has been engaged in such volunteer services, Neil noticed a breach in the network. He observed that though people were eager to contribute their extra household items, there was no technique in place that would make certain that the items securely the right sources. With a view to construct platform for contributing items such as clothes, books, toys, stationery, etc, he obtained a list of acknowledged and well known NGOs. Contributors may have the goodwill but frequently do not have the time or know-how on how to go about the conventionak procedure of contacting NGOs for their donations. With this objective, he created.propkaar.com, an online platform for NGOs to post their necessities. These necessities then can be accessed by donors who can then reach out to the particular NGO that are competent. Conversely, donors who have additional items that they would like to contribute for a better cause can post their availability on the website permitting NGOs to obtain them as per their requirements. Propkaar.com has already made a great impression on several NGOs in Delhi NCR who have reported of a rise of potential contributors reaching out to make donations. Ravi Kalra, founder of the Earth Saviours Foundation in Gurugram observed, “This was something which was truly required. There was no platform to link us with donors who want to help our cause. Neil’s platform has given us a chance to reach thousands of people who believe in us and want to do their bit for the betterment of society.” Sangita Mehra, founder of the ‘Spread A Smile’, an NGO for deprived children, said, “Neil’s initiative has been helpful to us and people have reached out to fulfil our requirements for books and stationery required at our schools. We hope he can keep up this good work.” For India’s numerous NGOs to be of real influence on the betterment of its social issues, the people of the nation require to be vigorously engaged with them. Thanks not only to Neil’s sympathy but also his capability to change it into action that there is surely more being achieved by the large numbers of community service centres in our nation. We now look ahead to Propkaar.com’s voyage, and a new brand of young philanthr Making opists it is certainly to encourage. By ANJISHNU BISWAS
