sector in India and lobbies for all voluntary sector matters
before the Central & State Governments. We are particularly
active in presenting various policies, regulations and advisories
through our annual pre-budget memorandum and throughout the
year. By sharing views and problems, our members help us in
representing their specific matters and the issues facing
the voluntary sector more effectively to the Central &
State Governments and their agencies.
INFORMATIONS SERVICE
We also maintain a database
on global & Indian voluntary organisations. We also keep
information on various aspects of the voluntary sector
including sector specific NGOs, academic institutions,
consultants and consultancy firms involved in the voluntary
sector. Such information is communicated to our members
generally through our news magazine and specifically on
request from other stakeholders.
BUDGET

VANI also undertakes analysis of the central
budget from the perspective of voluntary sector and
disseminates the same to its members and other stakeholders of
the sector within few hours from the time it is presented by
the finance minister. This is aimed at keeping members and
other stakeholders of the sector duly updated of the announced
programmes and policies for the sector and how its impacts the
sector in overall measure.
