Free Conferencing Services Launched For Indian NGOs

Nasscom Foundation, TechSoup, and Eagle Conferencing have launched free conferencing services to non-profit groups to boost charity in India. The free conference call donation will be routed through a technology assistance programme that the Nasscom Foundation is offering in partnership with TechSoup, a San Francisco-based group that partners in charity work with companies like Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Symantec.

NGOs play an increasingly important role in citizen welfare services. In addition to increasingly complex social issues, these organisations face shrinking fund sources and a growing demand for transparency, all of which can be addressed by the efficient use of telecommunication applications. Conferencing services can help ensure efficient communications, immediate networking globally, and ultimately greater execution results.

Rufina Fernandez, CEO, Nasscom Foundation, said, “We are proud to unveil our new communication technology offering. This implementation is vital to our NGO partners to create regional, national and even global business networking. Our goal is to provide to NGOs all technology and communication tools, which are available in the corporate world. Eagle Conferencing is perfectly suited to address this audio conferencing need to improve the operational productivity of NGOs.”

Kent Charugundla, founder and CEO of EagleNet Group, said, “Eagle Conferencing India is delighted and honoured to be a partner of Nasscom Foundations’ social programme and to be its corporate donor in India. We, as NRI, have an obligation to serve Indian society.”
