Author: Navami NGOs vary in their methods. Some act mainly as political unit, some others organize and arrange programs and activities. Many NGOs have a consultative profile with different agencies relevant to their work area. Broadly they deal with consulting, public relations, general awareness related matters, community work etc. Non-governmental organizations that are private have either a community or environmental focus generally. They deal with varieties of issues such as religion, emergency aid, or humanitarian affairs. They mobilize public support and voluntary contributions for aid. It all depends on the location, aid, demography, legal and financial obligations, need, necessity and aligmnment factors. All the people working for non-governmental organizations are not volunteers. It's a community work and people come forward and join for different cause. Rural development: Keeping into account that most of the rural population of our country falls far below poverty line, our goal is to provide them viable opportunities for more income, development, better healthcare, and improved sanitation. Imparting education and eradicating illiteracy: Education is must for every human being, whether its a child aspiring for primary education or an adult who didn't had the opportunity to see books due to some or the other reason. Its a constitutional right for own and a duty towards the country's progress. It needs enough awareness, monitary support, man power as well as resources to eradicate illiteracy completely and to open several nearby institutes, study centres, libraries and night schools. Perishing Child Labour: Child Labour florishes because its cheap and easily available. Sometimes parents themselves send their children to hazardous areas for earning money. This is a serious issue for a generation which is supposed to be at schools during the daytime. Only awareness may not be enough to bring them into the schools. Arrangements like atleast one-time free meals should be provided to encarage them. Cultural upbringing: Culture has its own significance in the society. It not only adds values to the society but also educates the newer generations to know more about there history and country. Several cultural functions, competitions and programs helps to hold the traditions that binds a group of people, brings them to a common platform and nourishes their social behaviour. Use of renewable and alternative resources: People should be taught and educated regarding the importance of renewable resources as for example, biogas for cooking, solar energy for lightning the streets and houses, wing energy for their partial electrical needs. These are not only cheap but are also readily available in most of the areas. Health and Hygine: This is a major concern for any NGO. General awareness regarding personal health and hygine, setting up and provisioning for clinics, medical services within 5 kilometers should be arranged. Periodic medical vans with general and specialized doctors should be called for regular check-ups and severe health related issues.
