all together and are primarily by volunteers. NGOs are highly diverse group A Non-Governmental
Organization is the term commonly used for an organization that is neither a part of a government nor
a conventional for profit business. Usually set up by ordinary citizens, NGOs may be funded by
government, foundations, businesses, or private persons. Some avoid formal funding altogether and
are primarily by volunteers. NGOs are highly diverse groups of organizations engaged in a wide
range of activities, and take different forms in different parts of the world.

Non-Government Organizations (NGO), voluntary group of individuals or organizations, usually not

affiliated with any government, which is formed to provide services or to advocate a public policy.
Although some NGOs are for-profit corporations, the vast majority are non-profit organization. Some
NGOs, particularly based in authoritarian countries, may be created or controlled by governments. By
most definitions, political parties and criminal or violent guerrilla organizations are not considered
NGOs. The issues addressed by NGOs run the gamut of human concerns, and the scope of their
activities may be local, national, or international. Some NGOs fulfill quasi-governmental functions
for ethnic groups that lack a state of their own. NGOs may be financed by private donations,
international organizations, government, or a combination of these.

NGOs have existed for centuries; indeed, in 1910 some 130 international groups organized a
coordinating body called the Union of International Associations. The term non-governmental
organization was coined at about the time of the founding of the United Nations in 1945 to distinguish
private organizations from intergovernmental organizations. Most NGOs are small, grassroot
organizations not formally affiliated with any international body, though they may receive some
international funding for local programs.

ESTIMATION: It is estimated that 40000 NGO are working internationally and more than 1 million
are in India only.

OBJECTIVE: Main objectives for making NGO are to reduce poverty, increase employment and
support to poor children. Not only that a NGO also works for the poor and illiterate to provide justice
to them and maintain their rights

ROLE: Consumer who buys the product of a company, it is his right to choose the right product at
right price.

Similarly, for the welfare and the social justice, it is the right of every citizen to get social justice.

It has to even ensure proper food, place to live, place for waste, etc. through social welfare projects. It
even ensure rights of the citizens as well as of the government.
