<h1>Philanthropic trust and NGOs host multi-state rural development conference; watch compliance on charitable registration, CSR reporting, impact claims</h1> A philanthropic trust and two civil-society organizations convened a multi-state rural development conference in Rajasthan, attended by over 100 NGOs, to present and exchange programs on water conservation, agriculture, livelihoods and education. Organizers described prior interventions in over 1,000 villages and outlined thematic workshops, field visits and knowledge-sharing to promote replication of community models. The event was publicized via a press release asserting collaborative CSR and nonprofit activity; the distributing news agency disclaimed editorial responsibility. Legal issues to note include charitable registration and compliance, donor/CSR reporting, representation of impact claims, and partnership agreements for field activities.
