ROLE OF NGOs in ENHANCING SOCIAL WELFARE
INTODUCTION:
Non-Governmental Organizations, or NGOs, as they are called the most highlighted success of NGOs
could see in their achievement in influencing government to bring out various development-oriented
policies and laws. Few of such laws and policies are common parlance, are organizations which are
involved in carrying out a wide range of activities f the benefit of underprivileged people and society at
large. As the name suggests, NGOs work independently, without financial aid from the government
although they may work in close coordination with the government agencies to execute their projects.
The function of NGO is to focus on all the issues concerning rights, social, environmental and human
rights. They work to promote and improve the social and political conditions of society on a broad scale.
Some of the so functions of NGO are: Human rights and child rights. NGOs social mediators at various
different levels of society so as bring the required change in social and behavioral attitudes prevailing
within the social environment, they create aware among people and become the voice of the poor and
needy person or group.
NGOs perform various social services, including housing widowed, training destitute orphans, and
protecting women They help with information transfer, mentoring, and press government employees
who fail to meet their commitment
NGOs with the support given by the government has been accelerating its development activities by
taking up specific issues like Poverty alleviation, child rights, caste stigma and discriminations, women
rights, child labor, rural development, water and sanitation, environmental issues etc., In the last two
decades the role of NGOs have become proactive in the social sector development-education, health
etc. NGOs have played a crucial role in sending the school dropouts back to the school especially in rural
areas thus upholding the Right to education. And also, the heath sector development programmed like
Leprosy eradication programmer and programs on eliminating TB, malaria and improving water and
sanitation facilities by NGOs have met with huge success.
Social service is associated with India since ancient times. It is said that even Mahatma Gandhi after
attaining independence wanted Indian National congress to be transformed into a public service
organization. Although such proposal was rejected, later many staunch Gandhi followers set up large
number of voluntary orgs across various parts of the country to carry of the constructive works on
Gandhian principles. However, the real and identified registration and formation of NGOs emerged in
India from early 1970s. Immediately after their formal inception, NGOS received grater thrust from the
Government in more than one way.

The most highlighted success of NGOs could be seen in their achievement in influencing government to
bring out various development-oriented policies and laws. Few of such laws policies include Right to
Information, Integrated child development scheme (ICDS), Integrated child protection scheme (ICPS),
MNREGA, Juvenile justice, Nirmal gram initiative, Various policies on women development, forest and
environment development, anti-trafficking, people with disability etc.
Development does not only mean economic development but also includes promoting social equality,
gender equality, improving quality of life etc. It is not possible for government alone to effectively
undertake such complex development activities. So, there is essentiality of other groups or organizations
to support the government on various fronts. This essentiality paved way for the emergence of civil
society. Non-Government organizations (NGOs) being a major arm of civil society thus have a crucial role
in the country’s development process
Volunteerism, defined as a voluntary spirit of individuals and communities to make interventions for
community good, has played a significant role in shaping the human civilization at each stage of its
growth. Voluntary organizations have been generally defined as voluntary, autonomous, Non-Profit Or
organization or groups of citizens established to address various issues/problems and disadvantages in
the society. The term 'Volunteer' is normally used to denote someone who others unpaid service to a
good case. Voluntary organization ensures collective action with division of responsibilities and relieving
the members from unlimited financial responsibilities. Voluntary organizations, thus, can be said as an
organization which is initiated spontaneously at least at the level of persons who fom1 it and governed
by members without any external control and compulsion.
NGOs in India are legally registered under the society Registration Act 1860, Indian Trust Act 1882, the
Cooperative Societies Act, 1904, the Joint Stock Companies Act, 1956 in order to meet the judicial
requirements. To avail themselves of foreign contributions, they need to register under the Foreign
Contribution Regulation Act, 1976. But most of the NGOs in India are registered under NGOs work with
the main
object of beatifies the society at large which may include poverty education

NEED FOR THE STUDY:

This paper highlights the role of NGOs in rural development in India. It is a case study of 8 NGOs engaged
in health, hygiene and sanitation. This paper also examines the Interaction Process, Mode of
Intervention and People’s Participation: Major, Ambiguities and Dilemmas in NGOs. Further paper
highlights the implications of the study. Role of Non-government Organizations (NGOs) in the
development process in the third world countries like India is very crucial, especially in the 21st Century.
They have a greater role to play in the lives and livelihoods of the tribal and backward communities of
India today.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

The objectives of the present study may be identified as following: -
(1) To examine the process of people’s participation and level of satisfaction of rural people.
(2) To analyze the approaches of intervention in the field.
(3) To examine the process of interactions between the Leaders, professionals and the Community level
workers.
(4) To examine the impact on health impact by the projects of the NGOs.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

The concept of strengthening the rural society merely by providing training in puts to staff, or fulfilling
infrastructural requirements of the organization pushes the people away from the focus of attention.
Even the training provided for the staff fails to deliver the expected results. Further, better co-ordination
should be achieved among the different types of training given to the staff at different points in time.
Multiple training inputs in diverse areas do not serve any long-term purpose. The impact of training
should be evaluated in terms of the practicability of its application in the field and sequential
requirements of the trainers. The majority of studies on NGOs are speculative in nature.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

(I) The study could have taken more cases from other state NGOs.
(ii) The Government health officials could not provide the required health related data of the area.

METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY:

This study has used both, primary and secondary sources of data
Primary Method: The sources of primary data are the executive body, the organizational staff and the
target groups. Besides various programs, workshops and meetings organized during my stay in the field,
also constituted important sources of primary data. Personal discussions with key government officials,
especially health and sanitation, with whom the organization maintains frequent contact also provided
useful data.
Secondary Method: A number of the secondary data sources such as the NGO’s annual reports, the
evaluation reports of some specific programs from external experts, proceedings of the organizational
staff meetings, the village meetings, the workshops, the training programs etc. were used. Besides data
from the available audio and video recordings of the functions organized by the organizations were also
analyzed.
