Role of NGOs in Rural Development Shridhar Hegde, 2nd year MBA MSRIT Bangalore Kishan B.V , 2nd year MBA MSRIT Bangalore

Abstract India has been a land of villages and the Government of India has been
Implementing numerous rural development programmes for the upliftment of rural Communities.
Non-government organizations with their advantage of non- rigid, locality specific, felt need-based, beneficiary oriented and committed nature of service have established multitude of roles which can effect rural development.
A number of NGOs have been playing a vital role in rural community development, besides government interventions. It focuses on the process of rural development in India and analyses the role of NGOs in the lives of rural Communities . Realizing that the government alone was not able to meet the challenges of the massive enormous tasks in the process of rural development, the non-profit, voluntary and non-governmental organizations had to be involved in different phases and activities at the global, regional and local levels. Thus, in later phases, both the GOs and NGOs have been actively involved in transforming the lives of the rural poor.

    The Chinmaya Organization for Rural Development (CORD) was established in 1985 in Himachal Pradesh, India. CORD started its work by providing Rural Primary Health Care to the surrounding under developed villages in the area. However whilst engaging closely with the rural communities CORD soon realized that critical healthcare issues were inextricably intertwined with the harsh reality of rural India's poverty, illiteracy, and gender discrimination, all of which hinted at the formidable walls of social and economic disparities to be overcome. The CORD program soon recharged and reshaped its approach to be more holistic and as a result, an integrated rural development model emerged which was successful and could be replicated with local modifications. Our mission at CORD is to facilitate integrated, sustainable social help programs in local communities and in the Indian subcontinent through processes of self-empowerment and enrichment.…

    The term NGO (Non Governmental Organisation) seems to be deceptively simple. However it has been defined by different individuals and scholars. According to Asian Development Bank the term non-governmental organization refers to “an organization not based in government, and it is not created to earn profit”. United Nations defines it as “private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interest of poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services or undertake community development”. The first definition is over-simplistic and leaves out important aspects of why NGOs are formed. However, the United Nations definition looks complete in itself as it gives emphasis to the idea that an NGO is an agency that is primarily engaged in work relating to the areas of development or humanitarian work at local, national and international levels. Another usefully concise definition is that provided by Vakil (1997), who states that, “NGOs are self-governing, private, not-for-profit organizations that are geared to improving the quality of life for disadvantaged people’’. This definition completes everything that may have been left out by the two definitions above. Three things now come outstanding about NGOs: they are not in government, they are private, they form to uplift the lives of the poor, they are non profit entities. We can therefore easily contrast NGOs with other types of groups such as trade unions, organizations concerned with arts or sport, and professional associations.…

    These functions often parallel public (government), private (business) and education sectors. The standards of the nonprofit sector will always be affected by those of the government, business and education. Based on what is the relationship between these sectors of society the level of influence on each segment varies. The niche nonprofit sector occupies in society may also differ. Their main focus can be building social capital in communities, encouraging civic engagement, supporting political participation, advocating for different causes, lobbying for legislation, providing social services, etc. (Frumkin, 2002). Due to the many different functions nonprofit sector can provide the standards will also vary; however, there still are some core principles that can be applied in every society to create the trust between the public and nonprofit sector and thus support social cohesion and those core standards are equally relevant across all three categories of NGO…
