Port Blair, Nov 11: An NGO Partnership System (NGO PS) Portal (http://ngo.india.gov.in/auth/default.php) has been developed by the NITI Aayog to facilitate the sign-up of VOs/NGOs receiving financial grants under various welfare schemes administered by the Ministries/Departments of the Central Government. The portal generates a unique ID for the VOs/NGOs on successful sign-up. This unique ID would be used as a mandatory requirement when VOs/NGOs approach the Central Government for Grants. The PAN of VOs/NGOs has been made mandatory for registration with the portal.
It has been decided with the approval of the competent authority that henceforth the processing of all proposals by the various divisions in this Ministry shall be regulated strictly in the following manner with immediate effect:-
i. Grant should be released to only those VOs/NGOs, who have registered on the NITI Aayog Portal.
ii. In case the VOs/NGOs have not registered on the NITI Aayog Portal, the SO/ASO while processing their grant should first send an e-mail to the VOs/NGOs asking them to register in the NGO PS Portal and to communicate their registration number pending which grants shall not be released. However, their case may be processed but the sanction order should be issued only after the receipt of the registration details from the organization.
iii. NIC shall place a pop-up on the website “ngograntsje.gov.in” requesting NGOs to provide registration number obtained from the NGO Partnership System (NGO PS) Portal site of NITI Aayog. A mandatory field may also be created in the online portal for processing of grant to VOs/NGOs for furnishing the registration number obtained from NITI Aayog Portal.
Hence all the NGOs intending to implement Ujjwala scheme in Andaman & Nicobar Islands are directed to get their respective organization registered on the NGO-PS Portal of NITI Aayog and send the unique ID number obtained after registration along with the Aadhaar and PAN numbers of all your trustees and office bearers to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
