Editor, NGOGrant
Vekho P. Ringa is the Editor of NGOGrant, an independent platform for NGO funding research, compliance information and project-preparation resources in India. He holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), and is Chairman of Ura Zuveh Foundation, a grassroots organisation established in 1998 in Nagaland, which is separate from NGOGrant.
As Editor he is responsible for editorial direction, standards for research and publication, and coordinating substantive corrections. Articles carry his byline when he is editorially responsible for them. A byline does not mean a government department, funder, lawyer, chartered accountant or auditor has approved the article; where a specialist has reviewed a guide, that review is named on the guide.
