N.G.O and Voluntary Action: The need for voluntary action arises when individuals feel that the existing socio-political and economic structures of the society are not paying sufficient attention towards some aspects of society or for some cause. N.G.O. means non-governmental organisation. In India Christians missionaries established schools and colleges for education and hospitals and medical institutions for health care and many charitable institutions for handicapped, poor and downtrodden persons etc.
Arya Samaj and Ram Krishna Mission etc. are doing a lot for education, health care and for helping poor persons. There are about one lakh N.G.O. though only 15000 are registered. This has given rise to grass root politics. Government of India is using these voluntary N.G.O. to gain popularity as these are more acceptable to people than bureaucracy.
Conclusion and Summary
Now N.G.O. based on voluntary attempt of individuals have gained importance and popularity. As such United Nations Foundation is taking help of these organisation. They create Corporate Social Responsibility (C.S.R.). These N.G.O. are useful and are helping reconstruction. In U.S.A. and many other countries it is getting bigger and bigger and becoming part of culture.
Narmada Bachao Movement led by Megha Patkar is to save 350000 hectare of forest land and about 2 lakh hectare cultivated land. Due to dams of Narmada more than one million may be evicted and deprived of their livelihood. Narmada Bachao has pupular support.
In India movements of ladies have succeeded more than any other country of the world. Indian lady gets equal share in parental property along with her brother as well as in husband and inlaw's property.
She cannot be punished for adultry but a male person can be punished, fined and had to pay compensation. In local self-government, they have reserved chairmanship, membership. In buses, railway and in posts they have reserved seats and quota. In women's schools and colleges men cannot be employed while ladies can be employed in boy’s school and colleges as teachers and principals.
It is expected that ladies may get some reservation in legislatures and government and administrative and corporate posts and in Parliament etc.
Role of N.G.O. is very important as in Tsunami tragedy. N.G.O. helped a lot and made the task of government easier by helping the victims. Corporate responsiblity concept has grown bigger in U. S. and other countries due to U.N.O. help and support. In India also, it is growing bigger and has become part of culture.
