Give India - History

History

GiveIndia was conceived in 1999 by IIM-A graduate Venkat Krishnan. It is run and managed by a team of professionals. Venkat Krishnan wanted to create a credible link between people willing to donate and credible grass root NGOs which work for the poorest of the poor. GiveIndia was started with the mission to create a culture of giving in India. Most of these NGOs do not have adequate systems in place to raise awareness about their causes and consequently have difficulty raising funds to support these causes.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.”
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    History takes time.... History makes memory.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
