The Method of Indians Donating Money..!


In the north India, almost everybody donated money to some extent. But relatively few people (15%) donated money to charitable organisations.

In the south India , by contrast, these 2 numbers are far closer together: almost three-quarters (73 per cent) had donated money in the year prior to interview and 36 per cent had donated money to charitable organisations, making donations to charities more than twice as likely in the south India than in the north India.

The east India and west India nestle between these two.

Clear differences are shown in terms of the extent to which different faith groups donated
money. Sikhs were the most likely to give ‘at all’; 99 per cent of them had donated money in the previous year. At the same time, however, Sikhs were also the least likely to donate money to a charitable organisation. A quarter (25 per cent) of Hindus, the most prevalent of all faith groups in India

according to the 2001 census5, had donated money to a charity in the past year. The only faith group for which a majority had donated money to a charitable organisation in the past year was the Christian faith (61per cent)
