Hello everyone, According to me, NGO should act like a non-charitable trust that is a non-profit organisation and contribute something meaningful to society as corporates are already providing something to society and generating profits on the same for further expansion and growth of self. NGo are often exempted from paying tax so if they start earning for themselves also deal with some fraudulent and illegal activities. Many NGOs are often recognised for their selfless service and are funded by corporates as part of CSR activities, or by HNW individuals.

For example, I worked in Vimochana which is an NGO for women's empowerment which is recognised and funded by Azim Premji who is the founder of WIPRO they empower women by providing them with employment opportunities by offering them various job roles to work with them, educating women from low economic background about various government schemes for small business ideas to be financially independent and so on. So I have closely worked with an NGO so I know how greatly it impacts society for good.

Hello everyone,

I think NGO organisations are working for the betterment of society not for profit so because of this the NGOs are also called as NPOs that is non-profit organisations as they are non-profit organisation they distribute the profit that is gained by the NGOs to the betterment of society such as giving it to the orphanage.

Hello, everyone, NGOs are working for others. As I am part of one of the NGOs in Pune, I have seen people who care about the environment, animals and all living beings.

NGOs not only work physically but also support and guide society to lead towards betterment.

In today's youth, we have found that enthusiasm and encouragement to take one step forward for helping in any situation making paths in the worst conditions.

So, the NGO which I joined in 2022 named NavUmeed Foundation Pune. I have learned so much from their activities. They have also worked for Women's empowerment, Education for orphans and rural development.

In India, there are various types of NGOs. Few of them are stray animals related. The animals who got injured in various accidental cases, by these types of NGO they can be provided first aid. A large number of NGOs are working well. But the government should also set some rules and regulations for opening an NGO. By these types of actions, the other people who want to serve in an NGO or want to give donations to any type of NGO can have a clear view so that their efforts to bring revolution can be done in the right way.

To begin with, it is crucial to recognize that dedicating oneself to welfare efforts does not imply neglecting our own interests or individual aspirations. It is, in fact, more productive when we synchronize our personal objectives with those of an NGO or any charitable organization.

For Example, if a person is interested in teaching and wants to get experience in a particular field they can initiate their respective journey by providing education to students who can't afford to go to school and the bridge that connects such aspirations are NGOs.

In other words, working for the betterment of others while also pursuing our own goals, has particularly no negative impact especially since NGOs are financially supported entities. Their primary focus is engaging in philanthropic work, which is centred around doing good.

I think NGOs should not be ignored as it's a part of important regulations and Govt authorised work by any organisation or agency. And for the welfare of the people, animals and plants we need force to really work in depth to achieve at least what they needed. But it should work in a good manner.

Hello everyone,

According to me, Many NGOs like Being Human in India are working really well and Providing better facilities to needy people for their welfare. As Always every system has Some good and bad. Many times listen that NGO Fraud, Scams and Money Laundering cases, therefore, most of people do not take part in NGO groups. In India, politicians use NGOs to convert Black money to white money. So most of NGOs are run by politicians so it is not a matter of interest, it is a matter of Money.

To rule NGOs properly, only interested people are allowed to be a part of NGOs. Lastly, I would say that NGOs should work like a god for the needy and poor people.

Thank you!

A warm good evening to all.

My name is Amaan Nisa. So, I want to initiate this topic, I feel as we all know NGOs are working for equality among humanity and hundreds of NGOs are currently working in countries like India. What I feel is when we see scams and huge blunders like money laundering and Human trafficking so this lead to a bad face of the NGOs on the other side some NGOs are really doing good for the society they providing shelter and food to the needy section of the society and arrange safe atmosphere to them so, in my opinion, there are both the good and bad side of today's world of NGOs.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
