ROLE OF NGO'S IN INDIA
A Non-Governmental organisation is a legally constituted organization which is operated by legal persons who act independently from any government. NGOs have volunteers and employees working towards ideological, rather than financial ends. NGOs work for a variety of causes that aims to bring about change in the life of people for a greater cause. Different NGO work for different causes in different ways. NGOs work for increasing literacy and helping poor people to increase their quality of life, and helping the people who are attacked by environmental hazards, guiding people about their rights and for many other good causes. In India number of national NGOs is around 3.3 million. After the independence Mahatma Gandhi made a plea for transforming the INC to Lok Sevak Sangh. But this plea was not accepted. Later Gandhi followers started voluntary agencies to work on social issues. Thereby NGOs were started in India.
The no. of NGOs increased in the time of 1960s as people felt that the government projects are inadequate to deal with the development of deprived sections of India. In 1980 in 6th 5 year plan (1980-85), the government identified new areas in which NGOs as new actors would participate in development. Optimal utilization and development of renewable source of energy, health for all programs. Water management and soil conservation, social welfare programs for weaker sections, Implementation of minimum needs program, education and environmental protection.
The involvement of NGOs in social challenges has a great effect on developing countries. The more financial support and the more no. of volunteers will greatly help in achieving the millenium development goals.
