- Voluntary organizations (VOs) / Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) include organizations engaged in public service, based on ethical, cultural, social, economic, political, religious, spiritual, philanthropic or scientific & technological considerations. VOs include formal as well as informal groups, such as: community-based organizations (CBOs); non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs); charitable organizations; support organizations; networks or federations of such organizations; as well as professional membership associations. VOs / NGOs should broadly have the following characteristics: They are private, i.e., separate from Government They do not return profits generated to their owners or directors They are self-governing, i.e., not controlled by Government They are registered organizations or informal groups, with defined aims and objectives
- India has a long history of civil society based on the concepts of daana (giving) and seva (service). During the second half of the 19th century, nationalist consciousness spread across India and self-help emerged as the primary focus of sociopolitical movements. Numerous organizations were established during this period, including the Friend-in-Need Society (1858), Prathana Samaj (1864), Satya Shodhan Samaj(1873), Arya Samaj (1875), the National Council for Women in India (1875), and the Indian National Conference (1887).
- Mahatma Gandhi’s return to India in 1916 shifted the focus of development activities to economic self sufficiency. His Swadeshi movement, which advocated economic self-sufficiency through small-scale local production, swept through the country. Gandhi identified the root of India’s problem as the poverty of the rural masses and held that the only way to bring the nation to prosperity was to develop the villages’ self-reliance based on locally available resources. He also believed that voluntary action, decentralized to gram panchayats (village councils), was the ideal way to stimulate India’s development. Gandhi reinvigorated civil society in India by stressing that political freedom must be accompanied by social responsibility.
- This includes temples, churches, mosques, gurudwaras (Sikh place of workshop), sports associations, hospitals, educational institutions, and ganeshotsav mandals (temporary structures set up to house Ganesh festival celebrations). Most NGOs in India are small and dependent on volunteers.
- NGO types can be understood by their orientation and level of cooperation as- · Charitable Orientation often involves a top-down paternalistic effort with little participation by the "beneficiaries". It includes NGOs with activities directed toward meeting the needs of the poor. · Service Orientation includes NGOs with activities such as the provision of health, family planning or education services in which the programme is designed by the NGO and people are expected to participate in its implementation and in receiving the service. · Participatory Orientation is characterized by self-help projects where local people are involved particularly in the implementation of a project by contributing cash, tools, land, materials, labour etc. In the classical community development project, participation begins with the need definition and continues into the planning and implementation stages. · Empowering Orientation aims to help poor people develop a clearer understanding of the social, political and economic factors affecting their lives, and to strengthen their awareness of their own potential power to control their lives. There is maximum involvement of the beneficiaries with NGOs acting as facilitators.[6]
- the Subnational Community Level NGOs nearly half (42%) had targeted the poor as their main beneficiaries. Mothers, youth and general public (15% each) constituted the next important target groups.
- GK began by providing preventive and primary health care for the villages where access to health was non existent in a wider and wider radius around its initial health center and hospital Savar, started at the time of national independence in 1971.
- GK’s Human Resources development system: from education to advanced care. The most elementary course is given to the dai (midwives), village women, usually illiterate, who have learned their craft as apprentices. Their instruction, lasting only one week, is designed to fill gaps in their knowledge. After covering basic hygiene such as hand washing they are expected to treat common ailments and introduce them to family planning techniques. They receive a monthly GK supplement of Tk. 50. The second group, also illiterate, is trained by GK for the government. The women receive one month of instructions on the treatment of common ailments such as diarrhoea, skin diseases, intestinal parasites, burns, shock and poisoning, and they attend lectures where family planning is fully discussed. After they return to their villages they will be evaluated by a GK doctor or advanced paramedic and will come to Savar – the hospital- for further training twice within the next 18 months. The government gives them a stipend of Tk. 100 a month. The third category consists of GK's own paramedics. With rare exception they are required to have five years of schooling and be literate. Their training lasts from six months to a year. Lectures stressing the relationship between poverty and disease "take a big chunk out of our curriculum," Chowdhury laments, about these things, they must understand. "They are taught to treat the most prevalent diseases (70 percent of the village caseload), how to do blood, urine, sputum and stool tests, and all aspects of family planning. The Abbé Pierre group of supporters of GK recently reported from a trip to Savar’s hospital that the GK trained paramedics (over 4000 trained) are of very high quality and considered as having above average professional qualification and this has lead to constant efforts by private health care organizations to “steal” the GK trained paramedics, offering them many times the income they would make in GK. It follows that GK must always expect to loose a portion of its trainees to the private sector.
