KINDS OF NGOs FUNCTIONING IN INDIA

KINDS OF NGOs FUNCTIONING IN INDIA

There are various ways in which you find NGOs categorised , but here below are kinds of Ngos and their functions:


Ø GRASSROOTS  ORGANISATIONS

Many small NGOs work directly with the community on the grassroots levels. These could be dealing with education, health, mother and child issues etc. There are many mahila mandals, balwadis etc that will be working in a small way receiving funds from their activities from government sources or through other charities. Such organisations do not necessarily need to be operating in villages or slums, as some will be working in middle class housing communities.

Ø HEALTH AND EDUCATION

We will club these together as most NGOs working in such fields of service will have areas of overlap. An educational Ngo may be working in literacy, adult education or even an entire school for the poor. They will have a wide range of activities but will primarily be concerned to educate the masses to develop better attitudes and therefore better conditions for living. A health agency may be working in a rural area, but will use plenty of educational models to communicate basic health issues. Both education and health organisations are taking up AIDS and HIV is not just a health problem; it is a social disease.
               
Ø ADVOCACY

Advocacy is a term used to describe any organised activity on the behalf of an individual or the community especially the task of pleading or arguing for rights and privileges of the exploited or underpriceded. Such NGOs will speak out on issues and may
Even conduct an intensive campaign to change laws or policies. The NGOs who work on advocacy or campaigning on issues or causes do not normally directly implement programmes. They are a group of experts in their areas along with legal and communication skills.


Ø Constancy /  research  organisations

With the increasing challenges begging faced by NGOs through globalization on the one side and increasing local socio political factors there is need for advice from experts. Research & constancy organisations will assist NGOs right from the setting up to the implementation levels and then offer assistance in evaluation. Some NGOs like to analyse their results using latest tools and these are useful in getting a picture of where we are in our progress.

Ø TARINING / CAPACITY BUILDING ORGANISATIONS

In the NGO sector, training is frequently being referred to as capacity building. But capacity building is much more than training and includes human resource development,  organisational  development the streamlining of management structures, processes and  procedures foe better result oriented performances etc. for an NGO, in its broadest interpretation, capacity building looks at human resource development (HRD) as an essential part of development. Such functions are best performed by experts and some NGO organisations are offering such expertise.


Ø RELIGIOUS NGOs

In India some of the earliest NGOs in the broad sense of the word were set up by Christian missionaries in the 1800s. They primarily took up educational and health projects such as schools and hospitals but also had some religious elements within their rang of activities. Today Hindu and Muslim organisations are doing the same and many functioning successfully in amelioration of poverty and developing of communities. Large percentage of NGO funding from outside India goes to religious based organisations. While some look positively at religion or faith based organisation, others like the bill gates foundation will not give money to organisation having a religious basis. A large number of NGOs in India have religious connections and operating effectively and efficiently.

Building Self-Confidence...

What is Self-Confidence? Two main things contribute to self-confidence: self-efficacy and self-esteem. We gain a sense of  self-efficacy  when we see ourselves (and others similar to ourselves) mastering skills and achieving goals that matter in those skill areas. This is the confidence that, if we learn and work hard in a particular area, we'll succeed; and it's this type of confidence that leads people to accept difficult challenges, and persist in the face of setbacks. Building Self-Confidence So how do you build this sense of balanced self-confidence, founded on a firm appreciation of reality? The bad news is that there’s no quick fix, or five-minute solution. The good news is that becoming more confident is readily achievable, just as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is that the things you’ll do to build your self-confidence will also build success – after all, your confidence will come fr...

WHAT IS SHYNESS AND WHY SOME PEOPLE SHY (VIDEOS INCLUDED)

What Is Shyness? Shyness is an emotion that affects how a person feels and behaves around others. Shyness can mean feeling uncomfortable, self-conscious, nervous, bashful, timid, or insecure. People who feel shy sometimes notice physical sensations like blushing or feeling speechless, shaky, or breathless. Shyness is the opposite of being at ease with yourself around others. When people feel shy, they might hesitate to say or do something because they're feeling unsure of themselves and they're not ready to be noticed. Reacting to New Things New and unfamiliar situations can bring out shy feelings — like the first day of school, meeting someone new, or speaking in front of a group for the first time. People are more likely to feel shy when they're not sure how to act, what will happen, how others will react, or when all eyes are on them. People are less likely to feel shy in situations where they know what to expect, feel sure of what to do or say, or are among ...
