Method
How we verify.
Every organisation here has a record we researched from public sources: its own website, official registers, press coverage and directories. The sources for each record are listed at the bottom of its page.
"Verified" means two things held. We found registration evidence in a cited source (the registering act with a number or date, an NGO Darpan ID, an FCRA number, or a stated 12A, 80G or FCRA registration), and we could reconfirm the record's other facts against its sources. "Partly verified" means we found the organisation in public sources but could not locate some details, most often its registration record, founding year or current leadership. It does not mean the organisation is doubtful; it means our record of it is incomplete.
We do not rate, rank or endorse organisations, and we hold nothing back that we could not confirm. If a fact is missing on a page, it is because we did not find it. Corrections are welcome at hello@100bhagya.com.
