The logo of CNRI was launched on 30th September, 2005 at GURUKUL near
the campus of Kurukshetra University, Haryana, India.

It was an auspicious day symbolizing the confluence of planets and sacred

rivers, when millions of people had assembled for taking a dip in the Brahma
Sarovar at Kurukshetra, the holy place celebrated in the Mahabharatha.

• The Circle in the logo represents equality and equal opportunity for all.

• The Human Beings around the Circle represent Strength and Solidarity.

• The Presence of Red Colour in the logo indicates the sacrifice required
on the part of every one engaged in the service of the people who are
poor and most disadvantaged.

• The presence of Blue Colour in the logo indicates the Goal of Progress
and Well-being for all without distinction.

(2)
 Guiding Spirit and Mandate for CNRI

• The Inaugural address was delivered by His Excellency Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam,
President of India on 25th April, 2005 on the occasion of the National Meet of
NGOs of Rural India at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi and he blessed the
establishment of CNRI. This address will always be the Guiding Spirit for the
grass-root level NGOs in their endeavor towards helping the poor particularly those
in the most backward regions of the country.

• The New Delhi Declaration containing 27 points adopted on 27th April, 2005 at
the conclusion of the Summit constitutes the broad mandate for CNRI to pursue its
activities in different directions in the service of the poor people of India.

CNRI is not a Funding Organisation

It is clarified for information of its members that CNRI IS NOT A FUNDING

ORGANISATION, and the members should not, therefore, have any false hope,
impression or expectation that CNRI will fund the projects and programmes of the
member-NGOs. It is reiterated that CNRI is an Apex Body of NGOs of Rural India
established with the specific objective of strengthening, coordinating and facilitating their
working at the grass root level for the integrated development of rural India to empower
NGO Sector.

CNRI members do not have to approach CNRI State Chapters or Headquarters for
routing their applications for assistance from Central Government or other Funding
Organizations. Each one of the members are at liberty to approach these funding
organizations independently for assistance. There should not be any misapprehension on
the part of the CNRI members that by becoming member of CNRI they would get
assistance from the government and other organizations. The members should
understand very clearly that their request or proposal for assistance will be decided by the
funding organizations based on the merit of the proposals and the decision of these
organizations would have nothing to do with their membership of CNRI. CNRI will,
however, in all cases where there is a legitimate grievance affecting the common interest
of the member-NGOs will take up such specific issues with the concerned organizations.

(3)
 Benefits to member-NGOs of CNRI

CNRI

• Provides a platform for collective working at the District/State/National level for

the cause of NGO Movement and issues of common interest and concern to diverse
NGOs.

• Makes available the details of funding organizations, projects and schemes eligible
for funding and procedures to be followed in availing of resources from the National
and International funding organizations.

• While the member-NGOs are expected and advised to submit their proposals to the
funding organizations directly for availing of assistance, on the terms and conditions
prescribed by the funding organizations, CNRI will, wherever called for, take up with
the funding organizations matters of common cause, legitimately affecting the interests
of the NGO Sector.

• Organizes District/Regional level workshops on specific subjects of interest to the

member-NGOs (such as on watershed management, integrated rural development,
income generation, IT and IT enabled services, transfer of technologies, non-
conventional energy, health, sanitation, education etc.). These workshops will be
addressed by subject matter experts and PRI Functionaries to ensure synergy and
cooperation at the grass root level with reference to implementation of different
projects by the NGOs.

• Conducts interactive sessions at the grass root levels between the CNRI Members
and the people who have benefited under different programmes funded by various
organizations for sharing of experience and to devise future strategies for growth and
development. Such interactive sessions will help CNRI in working out new ideas and
strategies focusing on the beneficiaries. This approach is necessary because ultimately
NGOs do not have any isolated or independent existence and have to depend upon their
target groups and work for their needs, development and progress.

• Networks with Financial Institutions such as NABARD, SIDBI, NEDFI, Rashtriya

Mahila Kosh and PSU Banks to inculcate an attitude and discipline on the part of the
member-NGOs to see that instead of permanently depending upon outright grants from
Government and other agencies they will get into the discipline of the Banking System
and facilitate in the implementation of innovative schemes on flexible lines.

• Disseminates periodical information and developments pertaining to the NGO

Sector through its periodical newsletter, website and other documents.

3. Develop a positive outlook to facilitate the development process and learn to work
in harmony and cooperation with the District level authorities and Panchayati Raj
Institutions. Play a complimentary role by active involvement in the various
programmes, projects and activities at the village/district level. Avoid meaningless ego
based conflicts with the funding organisations as they are the vehicles through which
the NGOs could realize their objectives in concrete terms for the benefit of the various
target groups.

agencies at the district level and take full advantage of their schemes specifically meant
for NGOs/SHGs for improvement of the economic conditions of the poor and the
disadvantaged.

SHG as a whole and has to pay fees with respect to the group as a whole. This
prescribed fee should alone be collected from the leader of the SHG or the convener of
the SHG as the case may be. There is no question of collecting fee from every member
of the SHG and this point should be clearly understood by the State/District Chapters
and the member NGOs of CNRI. There should be no communication gap on this score.
Further the prescribed fee is for the SHGs as a whole and this has nothing to do with
