The biggest hurdle in smooth functioning of the Association, conducting its day to day activities, expanding the base, implementing its various projects in pipeline including completion of building construction and equipping it with sophisticated machinery is in one word - M O N E Y.

Association urgently needs money. Lots of it. Donations to the Association enjoy (a) Income Tax Exemption under section 35 AC of Income Tax Act 1961 which allows cent percent deduction of donated amount from taxable income as admissible expenditure (for Building Fund) and (b) u/s 80 G of Income Tax Act (for other day to day welfare, educational and training activities).

Donations can be in cash or kind. Exemption will be admissible in either case.

Association is registered under Foreign Contribution Regulation Act under Registration Nos. 231605549 dated 8th March 1990 and is eligible to receive donations in foreign currency.

Therefore, please help the Association to the maximum possible extent financially as well as materially. All donations will be acknowledged individually with grateful thanks.
