How a contribution to Gitanjali Foundation New satisfies the Companies Act, 2013 — and what it achieves on the ground in Birbhum.
Birbhum is an aspirational-district region. A Schedule VII CSR contribution to Gitanjali Foundation New funds education, healthcare, women’s empowerment and rural development with full documentation, quarterly progress reports, CA-certified utilisation certificates and 80G receipts.
Domestic funding only: the Foundation is not FCRA-registered and does not accept foreign contributions. All partnerships are with Indian companies and donors under the Companies Act, 2013. CSR-1 documentation is available on request.
