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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

I think there are some good points about ngo's in India as well as some bad points. The ngo's are providing basic amenities to the children like good primary education, removing the malnutrition among the children etc. For youth it is providing the job opportunities, it also providing awareness among people about various diseases especially among rural areas, giving support of education, shelter, food to the orphan and semi-orphan people, providing free blood to the person needing blood.

On the other hand as the ngo's are more than 5 million in India but still we are the poorest country in the word because there are people who are showing their selfish attitude towards getting more money, corruption is also another factor in the failure of large no. Of organisation.

Hai friends I'm rakesh.

NGOs are generaly meant for working for welfare of society to gave qualitative food, cloth and education. It is ok. In any thing "like a coin has two faces" there will be good and bad. So, this ngos also are running by good and bad people. But when we see in practical in India nearly 40, 000 ngos are there which getting donations in crores from people, if they spend this ammount really for welfare of society therre wiil be no more poor people and illiterates but in practical there is poor development in society of our country besides govnmt effort apart ngos effort (nearly 40, 000. It means most of ngos are running by bad people. It should not not be good for country.

My wife works for a NGO known as Guru Sewa Sansthan in Gurgaon part of NCR. There are over 200 children coming to this school run by NGO daily. The NGO has been started by one gentleman who retired as chief engineer from govt services. He is 70 years old and still takes pain in ensuring that needful is done all these children. The school has been running for over many years and it could get around 150 children admitted in to some of the better private schools under 25% quota for poors.

Appreciate that there are good persons who are continuing their good work despite the good and bad comments and no or little assistance. I also wish to take up such assignment once I have done with my professional career but wish to do this in some rural area.
