With leaders, professional, CSR associates, CEOs, sustainability experts and media honchos as a part of the Advisory Council, World CSR Congress felicitates organisations with awards to those CSR practices which make difference to society and community at large.

Giving Back - NGO India initiated a series of social media campaigns which engaged dignitaries, speakers, exhibitors, and visitors across popular social media platforms to generate a buzz for NGO India 2013. It created huge impact for the event not only in India but also all over the world, which made Giving Back - NGO India stands out from the competitors.

NGOs can exhibit at the event for free.
