Niranthara's uniqueness is that, it imparts knowledge and implements systems and processes that makes the NGOs commit to change. The assessments identify the areas that the organization has to improve on and provides a blueprint for necessary action. Impact Study Report IIM Bangalore
I had the privilege of working with Dhwani Foundation. Their 'Niranthara' programme has given us new hope towards building sustainable organisations through collaboration and mutual trust.
Nobody was serious about us. Even NGOs did not take us seriously. But now, other NGOs are asking how you get programs and how do you raise funds? How has your organization improved? Everybody has started to notice us.
