There are around one million Charitable Trusts / Socities in India. In order to render effective and timely support during calamities such as Earth Quake, Cyclone, Flood etc., it was decided to computerize the entire information about these organizations.
The responsibility of the Project was entrusted to NIC. To begin with, the NIC Western Region Unit was chosen to be the stepping stone.
There are in all, about two lakh trusts in Maharashtra. These trusts are registered category-wise such as Health, Reserch, Education/Training, Religion, Society etc. The database for Pune (17,000 trusts) and Mumbai (42,000 trusts) is already complete and the Design and Development work is being extended to other State Units of NIC such as NIC-Gujarat and NIC-Madhya Pradesh.
It is proposed to extend the database all over the Country and also make it available on the Internet.
