How do NGOs contribute to sustainable development?

 Non-Government Organisations are the pillars of promoting a sustainable change in our environment. They are by larger the biggest contributors to spread awareness and spearheading conservations efforts around the world. The increasing pollution, urbanisation, loss of biodiversity and rising global temperatures are an indicator of the climate emergency our planet is facing. 

The sustainable development NGOs are key partners in fighting this climate change and working towards the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). These NGOs are a prominent source of inspiration and hands-on experience for a sustainable planet. They offer research on SDGs and internship and volunteer opportunities to anyone who wants to be a part of this change. 

Today, we have a list of top sustainable development NGOs India that are leading the change towards and greener and better world. 

VASUDHA FOUNDATION

Vasudha means ‘the Earth: the giver of wealth’ and this foundation is working to create a better planet for the future generation. It is a Non-Government organisation that focuses to promote environment-friendly and sustainable models of energy. The foundation promotes renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies for cleaner energy.

Mobius is one Best NGO in India and a leading foundations working on multiple fronts to combat climate change. The foundation has organised numerous plantations drives to increase the green cover in India. This NGO for sustainable development spread awareness about the rising pollution levels in Indian cities, increasing population, deforestation and loss of biodiversity. 

The NGO has also hosted an international conference on sustainability development, the ‘Youth for Earth’ challenge and build a school that will deliver quality education to rural Indians with sustainable education at its core.

GREEN YATRA

Established in 2008, the Green Yatra Top NGO was formed by Durgesh and Pradeep to reduce the excess amount of PoP used to make Ganesha Statues during the Ganesha Festival. The PoP Ganesha statues harm our rivers and waterways when they are immersed in water. 

The founder released that this is not an ideal way to celebrate a religious festival. To change the perspective, they involved schools, colleges and communities. 

Global warming and climate change are real, and we need to act now to save our planet from destruction. After all, we only have one planet to depend on.

Trade Alert: Pradip Burman At Dabur India Limited (NSE:DABUR), Has Just Spent ₹7.5m Buying A Small Number of Shares

 Investors who take an interest in Dabur India Limited (NSE:DABUR) should definitely note that insider Pradip Burman recently paid ₹500 per share to buy ₹7.5m worth of the stock. However, it only increased shareholding by a small percentage, and it wasn't a huge purchase by absolute value, either.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Dabur India

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Vice Chairman, Mohit Burman, sold ₹9.6m worth of shares at a price of ₹520 per share. So what is clear is that an insider saw fit to sell at around the current price of ₹503. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).

Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 54.15k shares worth ₹26m. But insiders sold 36.33k shares worth ₹19m. In the last twelve months there was more buying than selling by Dabur India insiders. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below.

Insider Ownership

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Dabur India insiders own about ₹606b worth of shares (which is 68% of the company). Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders.

So What Do The Dabur India Insider Transactions Indicate?

It is good to see the recent insider purchase. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest Dabur India insiders are well aligned, and quite possibly think the share price is too low. That's what I like to see!
