Our Genesis

NDSO, the Networking and Development Centre for Service Organizations, was born out of a vision to unite service-minded individuals and organizations across Tamil Nadu. Founded in 2005 as Ennangalin Sangamam (Confluence of Minds), NDSO began as a small forum to identify, unite, and facilitate networking among NGOs and social workers. Officially registered in 2008, NDSO has since grown into a powerful collaborative platform, bringing together over 1,800 NGOs to address critical societal challenges such as poverty alleviation, education, healthcare, and community development.
