In India, NGOs are typically registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, or the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. They are also subject to regulations related to foreign funding, such as the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.

Recent developments include increased scrutiny of NGO funding and activities by governments, growing recognition of their role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the rise of social enterprises that combine business and social impact.

Challenges include: * Limited funding and resources, which can restrict the scale and scope of their activities. * Lack of coordination with government agencies, leading to duplication of efforts or conflicting priorities. * Issues of accountability and transparency, particularly in relation to financial management and project implementation. * Increased government scrutiny and restrictions on foreign funding, which can hinder their ability to operate effectively. * Difficulty in reaching marginalized and remote communities, due to logistical and cultural barriers.
