In recent years, the number and influence of organizations in the social sector have grown significantly. However, data from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment reveals that out of 1,615 FCRA registration applications received in 2021-22, only 772 were approved, representing just 44% of applicants. The rejections were primarily due to non-compliance with the FCRA 2010 provisions and eligibility criteria.

Mahalaya focuses on solution-driven program design, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL), and compliance-led impact assessment. We work with CSR teams and social sector organizations to strengthen systems, generate evidence, and ensure initiatives move beyond reporting towards learning, accountability, and long-term impact.
