All about NGO/Trust
NGO stands for non-governmental organization. While there is no universally agreed-upon definition of an NGO, typically it is a voluntary group or institution with a social mission, which operates independently from the government. A NGO should be task-oriented and driven by people with common interest. Trust is the most common way of starting a NPO or NGO, with the objectives of demolish poverty, providing education and offering medical relief. It can also promote arts, science and literature. A trust is a fiduciary relationship in which one party, known as a trustor, gives another party, the trustee, the right to hold title to property or assets for the benefit of a third party, the beneficiary. The quorum of the Board of Trustees shall not exceed a maximum of 21 members.
