India has many NGO’s which are registerd under DARPAN-NITI AAYOG, and from the very first day of their registration they are working to educate every poor child. Though everyone is giving its 100% but after proper research we have curated a list of 10 amazing education NGOs which are driving the change in the education sector.

The Samudayik Vikas Samiti is an NGO and got its registration certificate on 16th march 1999 under societies registration act XXI, 1860. In a real manner, Samudayik Vikas Samiti is dedicated to promote, facilitate, conduct and promote social actions/programs for the emancipation and upliftment of the weaker sections of the society. Particularly those who are socially challenged and discriminated against on the grounds of gender, caste, and creed, and nearly twelve long years in Delhi, made it a proud harbinger of hope and confidence for hundreds of men and women whose hope of life has been completely shattered.

Samudayik Vikas Samiti has been working with the poor and the marginalized in the slums and resettlement colonies of Delhi to touch and transform the lives of thousands of people who live in vulnerabilities.

We are committed to participatory community-owned self-sustainable models of development.

In 1979 Rippan and 6 friends started CRY with Rs 50 around his mother’s dining table. They felt that something needed to be done to improve the situation of the underprivileged Indian child. Uncharacteristically, given their backgrounds and motivations, they chose not to start a grassroots-level implementing organisation working directly with and for underprivileged children.

They opted instead to make CRY a link between the millions of Indians who could provide resources and thousands of dedicated people and organisations at the grassroots-level who are struggling to function for lack of them. This “link” or enabling position has determined CRY’s strategic choices at every juncture — from the fundraising methods it employs, to the nature of its relationship with the NGOs it partners with.
