We also perform seasonal work like that of serving Chabeel in summers to distributing blankets in winters.
Q: Does the NGO have presence at other locations apart from Chandigarh?
A: As of now, we are operating only in and around the tricity and Doraha, Ludhiana (Punjab).
Q: I am currently working with another NGO. Can I still join NGO TAMMANA?
A: In such a case, we cannot onboard you as a member because there is a Conflict of Interest (COI). A COI occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation for an act in another. The presence of a conflict of interest is independent from the execution of impropriety. Therefore, a conflict of interest can be discovered and voluntarily defused before any corruption occurs. The secondary interests are not treated as wrong in themselves, but become objectionable when they are believed to have greater weight than the primary interests. The conflict in a conflict of interest exists whether or not a particular individual is actually influenced by the secondary interest. It exists if the circumstances are reasonably believed (on the basis of past experience and objective evidence) to create a risk that decisions may be unduly influenced by secondary interests.
Q: I am currently working with another NGO, though not actively. I am engaged with them through online promotions, getting donations for them through my friends on Facebook, Twitter etc., but not physically as that NGO is not present in Chandigarh. Can I still join NGO TAMMANA?
A: Same as above
Q: Is the NGO Registered?
A: Yes
