Do NGOs in India Really Work for Others OR Work for their Own Vested Interests?

Recently We have opened an NGO in New Delhi, India. Our main motive is to remove Unemployment, Illiteracy, Population, disease, Poverty, save environment and to help the poorer people of the village in India in every way. Can anyone help us for getting funds by which we can truly start to achieve our aim?

NGOs work for poor and I have seen NGO's working for poor.

I am also part of a NGO working for poor student in Uttarakhand.

This NGO provides fees, free dress and books to poor children.

This NGO also work for poor senior citizen, because in uttarakhand, It is a big problem, young people leave village to earn from big city but unfortunately never come back and their parents are there in hills without any support.

As some people said NGO's are mainly to save tax.

But the founder of this organization is a poor shopkeeper in Uttarakhand region and get money from the his friends, family and some generous people.

My personal experience is there some genuine people who work but there are a lot of people who takes advantage of this.

Doesn't matter whether a NGO is giving 100 % or less but the positive point is that the NGO's are doing for the society i.e. educating, helping senior citizens, health sector, etc. So, its good that there are some very good Ngo's in the country and those which are not that good and making money is also in some or another way contributing but certainly things would change if every Ngo will do what it supposed to do.

Positive thing is that constant welfare of society with a slow rate or fast depends on the generosity of the various Ngo's towards their work.

Hai ngos are really good according to my opinion. People who are all working in ngos came to serve the society. I think they have only one thought in mind they want to give something back to society, for developing country like India ngos are really helpful. I want share my experience with one famous ngo in andhra pradesh is nirmaan I saw people living there own jobs and working over there. They all are have only one passion, the rise of a great Nation. Around one lakh calls they are answered for vidya help line for career guidance apart from they have many activities for rule and government schools. So by this the are non profit organizations. They work for others for the nations.

Thanks.

Hello friends.

Well, good topic for the discussion. I consider NGOs are doing good work in our country. NGOs are helping to eradicate poverty, unemployment, illiteracy. But rampant corruption always frustrate us. Even in NGOs there is always drastic possibility to do this activity because everywhere all types of peoples are living in this country. But I think NGOs are improving something.

For example:-people are helping to save cow by giving shelter in their field. Meanwhile, government give ten lakh rupees to save cows but some leader deteriorate the image of NGOs. So this is my humble request to people who want to join NGOs and who are going to join NGOs. Please do welfare of the people. So our should be free from above maintained rampant glitches.

Thank you.

The fact is their are many NGOs who rob people in the name of donations to disabled people and orphans. This NGOs collect crores of rupees from various institutions. Despite this we can still see no improvement in those people. This is due to lack of information about where this NGOs spend the money collected and what part of money is actually spent and where.

NGOs should be encouraged not just by donating money but also by volunteering to carry out helping activities.

I think its a good topic for group discussion around us we can see so many ngo's working for people. Their aim is to build a corruption less country, help to senior citizens, education to children, unemployment. As you know nothing is 100% perfect some of the leaders of ngo's using the name of ngo grabbing money from the donations which people have given for disabled people, orphans. So people must be educate about where the ngo's are spending money and how and why. Building a golden nation is everyone's aim, join your hands & help the people by working as a volunteer in ngo.

I think NGO is a business like any other business. Most of the NGO start collecting money after December because they know in few months people will fix tax returns and so they may be looking for tax exemption 80g, etc.

NGOs collect money from people then deduct their expenses like salary of people working in NGO, office supply charges, electricity charges, telephone charges, travel charges, etc like any other company and the remaining amount goes to the needy person. If you donate Rs 100 then may be 50% or more is consumed by NGO itself. However, NGO creates awareness among people that there are needy people who may benefit from the charity.

80g or any tax exemption in the name of donation is not useful in saving money from tax. Actually, donation means giving away your money so there is no saving. If you do math you will understand what I am saying. Best thing is to identify who is the needy person and directly give him help to avoid overhead cost of NGO. There is no doubt that people make their living by creating NGOs.

NGOs in India are emerging at a rate tentatively equally to its population growth.

Since its been enough years to watch out the results of having NGOs in our social and economic systems since their appearance in India at a large scale its not illogical to assess the importance of them.

First of all NGOs have worked more for rich people to defend their black money than they have for concerned people.

Its very easy to have an NGO on paper with not an efficient mechanism of regulation and control of government, that is the reason why they are emerging this much fast.

As far as relevance is concerned its better to tax a bit more for public private partnership to implement schemes than creating a force of people who take things for granted (As no NGO volunteer takes any incentive, so long term effect can be this) and end up with creating inefficient socio-eco system here.

I agree that there are some NGO'S which are for their own profit and also converting the black money into white but on other side there are NGO's which work for the poor children and for development of rural areas. Sense foundation is the NGO in Delhi which provide education to the poor children and take care of health and medical for people of rural areas.
