World NGO Day was born in London, the brainchild of Marcis Liors Skadmanis. It is an international calendar day held on 27th February every year to celebrate, commemorate and collaborate with the various NGOs around the world.
The World NGO Day provides an opportunity to honour and remember NGO founders, employees, volunteers, members and supporters.
India’s First NGO was founded by Tagore’s Nephews Sri Gaganendranath Tagore in the year 1917 to help weavers and artists of the Kolkatta handloom.
The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.”
