Focusing on NGOs that work in the areas of rural development,
women, and children, the authors' goal is to shed light on the
contributions of the sector in the spheres of social welfare,
empowerment, service, and rural development. In addition, the
problems and difficulties experienced by NGOs are analyzed and
explained. This important new book traces the rise of NGOs in India
and their transformation over the years, revealing the importance
of NGOs in India's development after Independence.
Beginning with a detailed history of voluntarism in India and
examination of NGOs around the world, the authors provide the
framework for examining NGOs in India as a force contributing to
development. They then focus on partnerships and cooperation
between NGOs and the government, advocacy and policy implications
of NGO activity, accountability within organizations, approaches to
problems and delivery of services, NGO life cycles, and the need
for a code of ethics within NGOs. Case studies on NGOs designed to
assist women, children, and rural development are presented and
discussed in the context of development in general and improving
the quality of life for all Indian citizens. This careful and
comprehensive examination is a unique addition to a growing field
of literature on India.
