Centre for Advancement of Philanthropy (CAP), Aria CFO Services, Glific & danamojo launch danaVidya for NGOs

August 18, 2022 - In an effort to support India's social sector that has played such a crucial role in its progress especially during the pandemic, four specialized organizations servicing the social enterprise sector exclusively have joined hands to launch danaVidya- a free vetted resource to help answer compliance and legal questions for NGOs and Corporate CSR Teams.

DanaVidya aims to assist them in deepening their impact and reaching even more beneficiaries. It is a WhatsApp Chat Bot which uses a combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to answer user questions from its large database. The WhatsApp-based chatbot provides automated assistance to NGOs & Corporate CSR Teams and covers questions related to Income Tax (12AB/80G), Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the newly launched Social Stock Exchange (SSE). For any other questions not already in its vast question bank, the chatbot prompts a human volunteer to respond to the unique query within 24 hours of the user's question.

Speaking about the launch, Noshir Dadrawala, CEO, Centre for Advancement of Philanthropy
said, "They say that to share or give your knowledge is one of the best gifts and perhaps the highest form of daana or giving. The daana of vidya, in my opinion, is a wonderful opportunity for sharing one's wealth of knowledge and experience and in the process enhancing the giver's thirst for learning more and drinking deeper at the fountain of knowledge and wisdom. DanaVidya promises to be one such platform for cross-learning, peer-learning and to become a proverbial 'watering-hole' for thirsty seekers of knowledge in the jungle of legal compliance for NGOs/NPOs."

Dhaval Udani, CEO, danamojo said, "The biggest highlight of danaVidya is that it is driven by organizations who work exclusively with NGOs and therefore are experts in the field. Each of us understands the challenges and journeys of NGOs and the complexities of the law with respect to their operations and have therefore created this easy to use and accessible platform together."

To get started with danaVidya, users simply have to say Hi to +91 77770 35895 on WhatsApp.
