Overview
A society is a legal entity formed by a group of individuals who come together to pursue a common purpose or interest, such as social, cultural, educational, or charitable activities. The society is registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, which provides for the registration, governance, and dissolution of societies.
A registered society has a separate legal identity from its members, which means that it can enter into contracts, own property, and sue and be sued in its own name. It can also raise funds through donations, grants, and other sources to carry out its activities.
Societies in India are typically used for a variety of purposes, such as promoting education, art, culture, sports, health, and social welfare. They are often run by volunteers and rely on the support of donors and other stakeholders to carry out their activities.
