NGO Service Delivery And Civic Society Partnerships
About this episode
The episode discusses the role of NGOs in service delivery and their partnerships with the government.
Host Malathi Renati sits down with Ankita J Chakkraborty (Trustee & Treasurer, Avant Welfare Foundation) to unpack how NGOs actually deliver services on the ground and what real partnership with government looks like, beyond the funding buzzwords. We cover the fragmented NGO landscape (3M+ registered NGOs, one of the largest non-profit ecosystems globally), the compliance runway for young NGOs seeking CSR recognition, PPP models in public health like Karuna Trust's PHC management, and whether CSR money is built for sustained infrastructure work or just visibility. All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.Find out more on our research and other work here…
