With the many active non-profit organizations, it’s nearly impossible to create a final Top 10 NGO in India. Several prominent NGOs have maintained high standards over many years with geographic diversity including Goonj, Smile Foundation, HelpAge India. My opinion is that field operations effectiveness and financial accountability should be the criteria for consideration as opposed to the size and public recognition of the organization. I would like to know what organizations you would place on this list, based on recent rural development work completed by those organizations.

Hello guys, I have planned for my son's birthday celebration as a feed for the less fortunate In 2023! I would love some help finding a trust-worthy charity NGO to donate food in India to Slum Children/ Feeding the Homeless or people that live in shelters in India. I'd prefer that these meals be healthy and get to the people who really need it. Has anyone had a good experience working with Akshaya Patra, Feeding India and/or other organizations? Please let me know if you have suggestions of local organizations I should look into.
