The third Regional Workshop on the NGO DARPAN Portal was organized in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, with the objective of sensitizing state authorities and providing hands-on training on the use of the Portal’s Data Analytics Dashboard for the effective release of grants to NGOs.
The workshop witnessed participation from senior officials of the Government of Uttarakhand, NITI Aayog, the Public Financial Management System (PFMS), Nodal Officers, and State Informatics Officers (SIOs) from respective states. Through interactive sessions and demonstrations, participants were trained in navigating the portal’s features, analyzing data, and leveraging digital tools to improve decision-making in grant allocation.
The NGO DARPAN Portal, managed by NITI Aayog with technical support from NIC, serves as a digital bridge between the government and voluntary organizations. It ensures that NGO-related data is accurate, accessible, and verifiable, thereby promoting transparency, efficiency, and accountability in governance processes.
By empowering state authorities with digital tools and real-time analytics, the workshop reinforced the government’s commitment to ensuring that grants to NGOs are released in a timely, transparent, and accountable manner, strengthening trust between civil society and governance institutions.
