NATIONAL COMMITTEE

The Central Government has constituted a National Committee to identify projects and schemes to be notified under section 35AC, such committee normally consists of eminent persons. All NGOs are entitled to apply to the National Committee to get its projects or schemes approved. The provisions under Sec 35AC also prescribe some special purposes/projects/causes for which the government can issue these certificates. The government notifies the agencies and the respective project for which the certificate is issued. These certificates are granted for a limited period and are renewed only after The National Committee is satisfied with the progress made in the project. It is not common for the committee for de-notifying projects for various reasons.
