Trademarks are specific to a country unless registered in India through the Madrid Protocol. My recommendation would be to get a trademark search done and if no similar mark is there, file for registration.
Even if the name is used by a US based NGO, you may still be able to use it in India since it would be for a very different purpose altogether.
