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 primarily by 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 2014-15 to 2023-24, we raised donations of about 67% from our members and the remaining from external donors, including CSR partners and the local communities. We sustained our operations for over a decade without external funding from outside agencies. 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 management and overhead costs are less than 17%, attributing primary building rentals and administrative expenses, which are the bare minimum as we operate primarily from villages. City rentals are highly discounted by our patrons, who reciprocate goodwill for 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

PARD INDIA practices the following best international standards of Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) methods to ensure that every initiative leaves a lasting and positive impact on the deprived children (V-kids) and their communities that we serve:

All our Projects & Programs have built-in impact assessment as part of project implementation, monitoring, and reporting mechanisms. We identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with targets, and their actual impact is measured (both tangible and non-tangible) daily, monthly, and annually.

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 as part of our continuous improvements and innovations.

All along the way, we share our results, from time to time, with all our stakeholders (donors, partners, beneficiaries, communities, members, volunteers, employees, and regulators), so that they can be aware of what change is being reported and can validate it through periodical reports, qualitative interviews, testimonials, impact stories, Newsletters, and Annual Reports which are made available in the public domain.
