About Development Wala
In brief
Development Wala is an India-focused platform for the social and development sector. It brings opportunities across jobs, internships, fellowships, scholarships, grants, rfps, volunteering, events, consulting, career resources into one place, and connects candidates and practitioners with the NGOs, foundations, social enterprises, CSR teams, research institutions and government programmes offering them.
Organisations are reviewed and verified before their listings become publicly visible — a deliberate check in a sector where recruitment fraud is common. The platform is free for candidates.
