Accountability

All members and employees of PARD INDIA have a responsibility to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. Our Executive Committee, supported by Directors and Advisors, exercises independently overall governance leadership, managing risks and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. The management of PARD INDIA pursues the highest of standards through independent internal audits, statutory audits by a reputed audit firm, operations audits, mid-term evaluations, robust design-based monitoring, and periodic peer reviews.

We reinforce our responsibility to the government by regularly submitting reports and filing returns and accounts with the Income Tax Department and the Ministry of Home Affairs in compliance with the Income Tax Act.

Your donation amount will be spent as per your choice. We assure you of complete transparency and accountability for your donation, as the coding system is built into donation pages that will help to trace the amount received for which cause and, accordingly, the amount spent. We also provide a direct interface between our donors to interact and serve our beneficiaries; such participation creates a bond of joy among all of us.

Our partnership approach in working with like-minded organizations ensures we are accountable, committed, and responsive to all our stakeholders, including beneficiaries. It has always been PARD INDIA's endeavor to convey a public image conforming to reality and speaking honestly. It is our resolve to continually pursue excellence beyond compliance in all aspects of our services - governance, management, operations, and administration.

Funding & Payments

Since the commencement of our services in 2011, we have been supporting our projects and programs through contributions made primarilyby our own members.

We raise funds by preaching the art of the “Joy of Giving” under the “Collective Fundraising Project”. Every small donation we receive is considered an invaluable investment that supports our beneficiaries – deprived children (V-kids) and their communities, who are often denied equal opportunities and justice in our society.

Financial Highlights for the last ten (10) years

For the last ten (10) years, from 2013-14 to 2022-23, we raised donations of about 80% from our own members and the remaining 20% from external donors, mostly the local communities. We sustained our operations over the decade without external funding from outside agencies such as the government, CSR, or other business organizations. The first time we got a CSR project was in March 2023.

We spent more than 82% of our total operating expenses directly on programs that benefitted deprived children (V-kids) and their (marginalized) communities. Our building rentals and administrative expenses are the bare minimum as we operate primarily from villages, and city rentals are highly discounted in reciprocatinggoodwill to our services.

With ambitious plans for 2030, we are expanding our service base geographically. We seek participation from individual donors, charitable institutions, trusts, business organizations, research institutes, CSR companies, and overseas funding agencies to support our projects and to build a better world.

Impact Measurement

We design each program to measure specific indicators (Project KPIs) to track project progress toward our beneficiaries – the empowerment of children and their communities with respect to our vision, mission,and goals.

Our programs undergo regular evaluation, which helps us analyze the impact of our work, make informed decisions, and even change course if necessary, suiting the local needs.

All along the way, we share our results with all our stakeholders, including the project sponsors, communities, and beneficiaries, so that they can be aware of what change is being reported and can validate it through periodical reports, qualitative interviews, and focus group discussions, Newsletters, and Annual Reports to our stakeholders.

The organization's accounts are audited and certified by statutory auditors and made available in the public domain.
