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

As already explained by many above, basically a NGO takes financial help from society so as to use them to help the needy people fight poverty, illiteracy etc. In return government exempt them from taxes. I personally know my college friends who are running a NGO to educate hapeless children. They started it with the help of college friends and as days passed by they are working on a huge scale and doing very well for the betterment of poor children in Karnatak & Jharkhand. Super 30 batch being run by Ex-IPS officer in Bihar is also a kind of NGO teaching poor children for IIT-entrance.

On the basis of above two examples I can say that there are some NGOs in India which are doing justice to their motto and actually helping the needy ones.

Friends I believe NGO works for poor. When you pour any liquid from the hight to any utensil, its not necessary that all liquid go into that utensil, some material will go outside of it as well. For those region who are not aware about the development happening in the world, who don't carry some basic skills, or not aware about the skills they have or not getting the opportunity to encash their skills, I think NGOs are providing good platform to them.

Hello! this is sujoy. By functional defination, a NGO is conserned with the provision of relief to poor, medical and education - an organisation which is operating without seeking any profit. They obtain sizable amount of donations from different parts of society in exchange of promise to utilise them for above stated purpose. Realising this noble work executed by the NGO, Govt grant them relief from any taxation libility. But the actual picture is completely different in the sense that some persons utilise this as a umbrella to escape from the taxation liability. How this is possible ? say, Mr. X, being promoter of NGO, received his personal income in the name of NGO and utilise them for own benefit by way of showing this as expenses incurred for general/common benefit. This mechanisim will get him escape from tax obligation.

So, in most of the cases, persons, strongly related with NGO are benefited at the cost of society's welfare.

Hi every one I want to express that NGOs plays a important role in an infant life. But fact is that how much. Because I think there are many people who contribute a lot. For this type of association but they don't know how much there effort is praised. I want to share something from all of you that one of my best friend is from NGOs. And he got every thing that a child have right to get it from their parents.

NGOs work but mass requires mass. The poor in our country are endless NGOs are hand full, on the other hand money in our country is endless but hands for giving are hand full... Very sad.

Hello friends, as we all known there are always a different types of people live in this society, some are good and some are bad. What I think is that there are people who works for the betterment of others who knows what that felling of satisfaction is by helping others, that type of people will only work for betterment of others and and for the society and at the same time there are people who work for ngos to get name and fame. People like those should understand that how can they do such a hineous act. God has made them human beings and it is not at all a sign of human qualities.

But the fact is, there are millions of ngos in the world if they would have worked for the welfare of people then belive me my dear frnds there would not have been so much poverty and illness prevailing in the society. There are people who are taking advantage of ngos but at the same time there are certain people who have not forgotten that they are human beings and they are working for the betterment of people and society.

Hello friends, It would not be a gain sharing for many of us. My question is are NGO's really performing the work they are mend for the ans is a BIG NO reasons being many people join NGO's just 2 make money if you look at the data many of the people who run these NGO's are generally political leaders, entrepreneurs, or some social workers many of them join this just to save on tax or to convert their black money so where is the point of helping poors, physically challaged their are around 1. 2 million NGO's operating in India which is having a total population of 1. 2 billion (census 2000).

Now the question arises why these 1. 2 million NGO's are not able to serve the purpose they are mend for the reason is clear their pocket is much bigger then any life, environment etc.

On many fronts NGOs are doing better than even their official counterparts.Be it a flood relief programmes or poverty alleviating programmes or social awakening programs the NGOs are performing much better comparing the resources at their hand.

Now a days NGO are helping poor kids to study and get good clothes and even they are trying to get contribution from many companies for collecting clothes, shoes, books and many more. This way they are awareness about the help which any Indian must do.

I am really accord with this statement that NGO's work for other's. Many types of people lives in India in which some people acts as candid work and some people only work for their own prestige. I will say that this is only for that people who is honest about their aim.
