Our Important Aspect
Our important aspect is that if you are coming to us directly; as individual/couple/groups you will also notice that our program cost is considerably lower than what your home/other country agency is offering. Without an extra agency in the chain of administration it is possible to give the individual volunteers the same low cost fee as we offer the agencies.

India Volunteer Program offers one of the most affordable volunteer programs in India in this competitive and expensive time. Compared to many international and local agencies, our fees are substantially lower. But we are committed to providing excellent, quality volunteer programs that efficiently use the amount we receive.
