The organization doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NGO. Out of three references, one is organization's own website, second one is a small brief about organization in local coverage of a national daily (probably more like a press release), third one is about the org 's awards detail and not about the org itself. I could only find one more reference to org on news websites which just mentions it in the passing. It seems the org's founder is more notable than the org itself. Also to note is that the creator of this page had in 2011 created page for this org under its full name which got deleted under CSD. Roller26 (talk) 18:54, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The organization is active for about 22 years now. Some very prominent people were honored with Award presented by this organization, some of them even later went on win Padma Awards from the government of India. This is an unique organization in its own rights, as it was few of first organizations completely dedicated to the non-Gandhian freedom fighters. The institute is constantly working towards collection, publication and distribution of information about Indian freedom struggle. utpalpandey (talk) 17:38, 23 August 2020 (IST)

utpalpandey, I have gone through all the other links you have added since the AfD tag. All of them either mention the Organization in passing-by, just contain a quote from an organization representative or don't mention the organization at all. (They talk about the achievements of a person while mentioning that they have also won Maati Ratan award). These do not represent significant and independent coverage. For a stand alone article the organization has to comply either with WP:GNG or WP:NGO, which it doesn't. I am sure the purpose and actions of the NGO are extremely noble, but WP:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause, there many other appropriate forums to do so. If the award given by the organization, Maati Ratan is notable that doesn't mean that the organization it self is notable due to WP:INHERITORG. If you think that the award Maati Ratan satisfies the criteria of WP:GNG, you can have a stand-alone page for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roller26 (talkcontribs) 17:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause and WP:INHERITORG was helpful. It seems this organization doesn't fulfill the standards and clearly the award presented by it is more recognizable than the org itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Utpalpandey (talkcontribs) 14:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
