INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

THE ROLE OF NGO’S:

Non-governmental organisations originally appeared in the mid nineteenth century. After the Second World War, and with the creation of the United Nations, the need and place for a consultative role for organisations that were neither governments nor member states was recognised. The acceptance of these bodies led to the term ‘Non-governmental organizations’. The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) originally defined these bodies as ‘any international body that is not founded by an international treaty’, however the United Nations now describe a Non-Governmental Organisation as a “not-for-profit, voluntary citizen’s group, which is organized on a local, national, or international level to address issues in support of the public good.

THE ROLE OF NGO’S IN RURAl DEVELOPMENT

The success of the rural development depends upon the active participation and willing co-operation of the rural people through Self-Help organizations and NGO’s. The various roles of NGOs are described below for better understanding:

Catalyze Rural Population
Build Models and Experiment
Supplement Government Efforts
Organizing Rural Poor
Educate the Rural People
Provide Training
Disseminate Information
Mobilize of Resources
Promote Rural Leadership
Represent the Rural People
Act as Innovators
Ensure People’s Participation
Promote Appropriate Technology
Activate the Rural Delivery System

ROLE OF NGO IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT:

Alleviation of poverty has persistently been on the agenda of the government. Various programmes with contrasting methodologies have been tried, whopping funds expended, yet the poverty yet the poverty seems indomitable. The Yojana (SGSY) is the latest poverty alleviation programme integrating six erstwhile rural development programmes, and it has been in operation since 1st April 1999

WORK OF AN NGO: INTRODUCTION

To help poor people exercise their basic rights

Poor people are often denied their most basic rights of safe water, food, education, shelter, healthcare and a life of dignity. Many have little say in the decisions that affect their lives, so generation after generation is condemned to a life of poverty and uncertainty. By focusing on people’s basic rights, NGO’s is able to take a long-term view of rural development.

To work in partnership to achieve greater impact

NGO’S ensures that a community’s real needs are met by working in partnership with local organisations. These groups have a deep local knowledge and allow ngo to work more effectively in isolated villages and urban slums whilst strengthening the global antipoverty movement.

To promote change internationally

NGO’S advocacy work helps poor people make their voices heard by those who have the power to change things. International campaign teams working on education, food and HIV/AIDS continue to lobby governments, corporations, the media and financial institutions so that they take account of the needs of poor people.

To improve gender equity

Women bear the brunt of poverty throughout the world, especially in developing countries. Women and girls do not have the same status, power or access to and control over resources as men and boys. NGO’s recognises that inequalities between women and men are fundamental causes of poverty, and works for women and men to have equal status, especially within the areas of education and health.

To provide Education in rural area

NGO’s education work focuses on primary education and adult literacy. Reflect is an innovative approach to adult literacy and empowerment, whilst Access provides informal primary education for children who can’t attend school due to the cost, distance or aneed to work or help with household chores. Ngo’s also initiated the Elimu campaign to put pressure on governments to live up to their promises and provide free, quality, primary education to all children. NGO’S Schools and Youth team produces educational materials for use in rural classrooms.

Food security and trade rules

Poverty and hunger are closely linked. NGO’S works to improve food supplies and prevent famine by providing seeds, tools, animal feed, fertiliser, loans and training. NGO’S also campaigns for people’s rights to food, and for fairer trade and patent laws that don’t discriminate against poor people.

Peace building

In the contemporary armed conflicts of the world, over80% of casualties are civilian. NGO’S is working with communities to develop sustainable local initiatives that build peace and prevent conflict from re-emerging. Thesis done by rebuilding lives and livelihoods; encouraging former soldiers and victims to communicate; identifying problems and resolving issues locally.

Emergencies

Overcoming poverty in the long-term is made especially difficult when people are hit by emergencies, and poor people are often the most vulnerable. NGO’S recognises that people’s rights are often denied in emergencies. When an emergency happens, NGO’S works with the most vulnerable communities to assess their needs and provide immediate assistance. They take a long-term approach to help people recover once the immediate needs of an emergency have been addressed. NGO’S also helps people plan how to reduce the risk and impact of any future disasters, and tackles the factors that make certain people more vulnerable to disasters in the first place.

PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF INDIAN NGOs

Indian NGOs fall into two broad categories – the “Government-funded” NGOs and the “Multinational NGOs” which receive their funds from foreign sources.

Major innovation by development NGOs:

THE ANGANWADI WORKERS TRAINING CENTRE:

Anganwadi i is also one kind of NGO, which is play very important role in rural areas for progress. The Anganwadi Programme, started by the Government of India in 1975 as part of the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), is a grassroots programme that reaches out to women in rural areas and urban slums, to educate them on matters of basic health and hygiene, nutrition, pre- natal and post-natal maternal and childcare and child rearing. Angan means courtyard in Hindi and it is the heart of family and community life in the villages of India. This is where the Anganwadi workers gather together women of the community to impart information and provide welfare services.

MICRO FINANCE AND NGOS:

World’s Greatest Ancient Economic and Political Scholar

Non-Governmental Organizations and voluntary action have been part of the historical legacy. In the context of contemporary social empowerment, self realization and self initiative is the base for the formation of self help groups. This is the logic motivated NGOs to form SHGs in rural areas to empower them through developing their inherent skills. Thus, SHG movement among the rural poor in different parts of the country is emerging as a very reliable and efficient mode for technology transfer

ACCION International, it is a Latin America’s one of the prime microfinance institution working with the poor. In an early pioneer, ACCION was founded by a law student, Joseph Blatchford, to address poverty in Latin America’s cities.
SEWA Bank. In 1972 the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) was registered as a trade union in Gujarat (India), with the main objective of “strengthening its members’ bargaining power to improve income, employment and access to social security.
Grameen Bank. In Bangladesh, Professor Muhammad Yunus addressed the banking problem faced by the poor through a programme of action-research. With his graduate students in Chittagong University in 1976, he designed an experimental credit programme to serve them. It spread rapidly to hundreds of villages. Through a special relationship with rural banks, he disbursed and recovered thousands of loans, but the bankers refused to take over the project at the end of the pilot phase.

OUR MISSION & OBJECTIVES

CHAPTER – 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The literature for review to be collected from secondary sources such as magazines, articles, reports, budgets, news paper etc to highlight the problems and findings of the study done by many research and business professionals to understand the significance of the materials management of the companies. The objectives of the proposed topic have to be formulated based on the previous study by the many research professionals.

According to David C Korten in 2002:

Dealing with a number of current development crises will ultimately require facing up to the challenge of democratization. The types of reform indicated involve complex organizational changes that the large official donors have little capability to address. The central leadership role must be assumed by organizations with the potential to serve as catalysts of institutional and policy change. Some NGOs have demonstrated the potential to serve in such roles and many others have the potential—if they chose to develop the necessary technical and managerial capabilities. Throughout this paper, we have observed how NGOs have become “caught in a turbulent ‘development’ policy environment in which their roles are increasingly being redefined” (Ahmad, 2006: 630.) The opportunities and challenges for future development cooperation with government and donor agencies have been described, and weave a complex web of actors, activities, roles and impact.

According to Anthony Bebbington in 2003:

Much research on nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) involved in international development has been case-study-based, with questions about the broader geographies of NGO intervention rarely asked. This paper explores the factors that drive such NGO geographies and considers how they relate to the uneven geographies of poverty and livelihood produced under contemporary processes of capitalist expansion and contraction.

According to John D. in 2009:

NGO’S in rural development in India has not been accompanied by pressure for policy change except in regard to environmental issues. Often action at the local level has not been linked with lobbying at the macro level. Recognizing that the state and markets perform better if kept under constant check, developmental volunteers within the organizations will have to serve a sort of “insurgent” function so as to align, anonymously, with grass-root activists, NGOs, and professionals.

According to Andrew N. Parker in 2000:

Although decentralization initiatives have a long history, much more needs to be understood about various components of decentralization before sound advice can be given to policymakers. Special strategies are needed to address the widespread incidence of rural poverty in developing countries, but initiatives aimed at improving the rural standard of living have not consistently reduced poverty.

Status and Trends

NGOs have, in particular, played an important role in raising environmental concerns, developing awareness of environmental issues and promoting sustainable development. The encouragement of public participation in environmental management through legislation in recent years has also enhanced the role of NGOs and Major Groups. For example, in Thailand, Article 56 of the 1997 Constitution recognizes the rights of people to participate in the protection of natural resources and environment. Similar provisions have been made, for example, in the Philippines, New Zealand (Resource Management Act), Azerbaijan (EPA 1999) and the Australian Landcare and Coast Care programmes.
