Start with the service you need
NGOs work on different needs: counselling, legal support, education, livelihoods or community programmes. Start with the service and location rather than assuming that every organisation provides emergency help or handles every case.
- Jagori lists counselling and gender-based-violence support contacts in New Delhi.
- SNEHA describes violence-related counselling and referrals through its Mumbai programme.
- Majlis describes legal and social support; Azad Foundation describes women’s livelihood training. Confirm the current service area with each organisation.
Use registration as one identity check
NITI Aayog describes Darpan as a portal where non-profit organisations obtain a Darpan ID. Matching a legal name and identifier can help distinguish organisations with similar names. An identifier alone does not establish current services, available beds, case intake, quality or a government endorsement.
- Follow the Darpan link from NITI Aayog’s own page.
- Compare the organisation’s legal name and any identifier it publishes.
- Do not treat a logo, social-media post or forwarded registration certificate as sufficient confirmation.
Ask practical questions before sharing details
Open the organisation’s own website independently and ask what happens next. Website information can help you find a contact route, but the provider needs to confirm current availability and whether it can assist you.
- Ask about service area, languages, opening hours, appointment requirements and any fees.
- Ask how personal information is stored and who will see it.
- Describe only what is needed initially; do not send identity documents or a detailed case narrative to an unconfirmed contact.
- For urgent danger, use official 112. For legal-aid information, contact NALSA on 15100.
