E-Anudaan Registration

E-Anudaan Registration is an online registration process that enables eligible NGOs, Trusts, Societies, and Section 8 Companies to apply for government grants and financial assistance through the E-Anudaan Portal. The portal has been developed to simplify the application, processing, monitoring, and disbursement of grants under various government schemes, ensuring greater transparency, accountability, and efficiency.
