India, being a country challenged by extreme poverty in some areas, birthed many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) who have been successful and even used as models to new NGOs from all over the globe. Since the Indian government only provides 1.4 percent of their GDP for healthcare (Pandey, 2017), NGOs have seen the need to succeed in their initiatives and care for the citizens. To name a few of the most successful organizations are the following:
1. Smile Foundation In many of the isolated and difficult to access areas of India, people are uneducated, some don’t have livelihoods, and have poor healthcare services. Thus, Smile Foundation has been helping issues relating to healthcare, women empowerment, education, and providing livelihoods.
2. Cry India Cry India is an NGO which started in Mumbai but has expanded to other areas in India like Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, and Kolkata. They focus on areas relating to education because they aim to ensure all children can be admitted to free education, homes, and proper healthcare services.
3. Lepra Society Lepra Society is an NGO which focuses on many things. For example, they aim to prevent diseases like HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and malaria which are prevalent in India. Additionally, they also helped blind individuals go through their everyday lives with less burden. Also, they have expressed their concerns relating to gender discrimination in the workplace and have been working to put a stop to it. Like many other NGOs, Lepra Society also wishes to one day eradicate poverty in India, although they still have a long way to go, one area at a time.
4. Sagram Sanstha One of the top NGOs in India is Sargam Sanstha and for many years they have focused on underprivileged children in India. They believe that the key to a bring future for the country is to educate young people to reach their full potential. Since 1986 this organization has been helping children attend school and pursue studies in universities and eventually contribute to society.
5. Nanhi Kali In most parts of the world, the educational attainment of boys have been more important than that of girls. But Nanhi Kali believes in equality for all and have been supporting many girls to attend school.
6. Help Age India Help Age India is an example of an Indian NGO who has gained recognition nationally for the efforts they have put into the aid they have provided for the elderly. Life has been extremely difficult for the underprovided elderly population in India. Their bodies are no longer as strong to provide for their needs such as medical needs.
7. Goonj Limited Goonj Limited is an NGO who has expanded in over 21 states in India. They are known to provide clothing for those who are unable to afford it, especially the children.
Funds for NGOs in India have been prominent given the success they have had throughout the years. Many NGOs have already lessened the rate of malnutrition in the country. Many facilities have also been sanitized to avoid viruses and infections from arising in many children. Funds for NGOs have always been difficult to acquire but if you establish your NGO enough and get recognized, receiving funds will get slightly easier. Following the footsteps of the organizations mentioned above can be an idea. Above everything, these NGOs didn’t have things easy either but made their way up from below to pursue their mission and vision.
Through the NGOs present in India, many Indians have been experiencing a better life. There’s no stopping these NGOs from continually helping and encouraging many of the disadvantaged.

The World Bank defines NGOs as private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social services, or undertake community development.
NGOs are legally constituted organizations which operate independently from Government and are generally considered to be nonstate, nonprofit oriented groups who pursue purposes of public interest .
Different agencies recognize these groups with different names such as Civil SocietyOrganizations(CSO), charitable organizations, voluntary organizations etc.
Phase One : The first half of 19 th century in Indian history was marked by initiation of social reform movements. These reform movements evoked the spirit of devoting life to do something for the disadvantaged sections of the society. It recognized the right of untouchables to education, work of choice and worship, the right of women to education and other social aspects of life. This gave birth to the idea of voluntary organizations for the first time in Indian history.

Phase two : Second half of 19 th century witnessed an unprecedented socio-political awakening resulted in the blooming of institutionalized reform movements such as Brahmo Samaj, Arya samaj, Ramakrishna Mission etc. And this prompted the Government to enact Societies registration act 1860.
Phase three (1900-1947): This period marked the successful attempt of channelizing the voluntary spirit for political action and mass mobilization for the struggle for independence. It influenced the formation of many future voluntary organizations.
Post Independence period: In the post-independence period, a large number of voluntary organizations have taken part in the process of nation building. The shift to a neoliberal economic and political agenda facilitated the growth of voluntary organizations at a faster pace.
Indian NGOs mainly comes under three segments – Societies, Trusts, Charitable Companies.
There are laws for the regulation of the functioning of NGOs in India. Foreign contribution regulation Act(FCRA) and Foreign Exchange Management Act(FEMA Act) are among the most important laws connected with NGOs.
History: Enacted in 1976 by the IndiraGandhi led Government during the emergency. It regulates all grants, non-Indian gifts, and donations-Indian residents. It also prohibits electoral candidates, political parties, judges, MPs and even cartoonists from accepting foreign contributions. The ostensible justification given for the law was to curb foreign interference in domestic politics.
The amended FCRA Act 2010, barred organizations of ‘political nature’ from accepting foreign contributions. It also mandated that the organizations receiving foreign funds should renew their licenses every five years.

NGO can be classified on the basis of their orientation and level of operation .
Community-based organizations ( cbos ) arise out of people’s own initiatives. these can include sports clubs, women’s organizations, neighbourhood organizations, religious or educational organizations. there are a large variety of these some supported by ngos national, or international ngos, or bilateral or international agencies, and others independent of outside help. some are devoted to rising the consciousness of the urban poor or helping them to understand their rights in gaining access to needed services while others are involved in providing such services..
Citywide Organizations include organizations such as the Rotary or lion’s Club, chambers of commerce and industry , coalitions of business, ethnic or educational groups and associations of community organizations. Some exist for other purposes and become involved in helping the poor as one of many activities, while others are created for the specific purpose of helping the poor.
Two-way communication : ngos act as a two-way communication channel i.e. upward from people to the government and downward from the government to people. upward communication involves informing government about views of local people while downward communication involves informing local people about what the government is planning and executing., self organization : ngos enable people to work together voluntarily to promote significant social civic values. they promote local initiative and problem solving. through their work in a broad array of fields – environment, health, poverty alleviation, culture & the arts, education, etc. ngos reflect the diversity of society itself. they also help the society by empowering citizens and promoting change at the “grass roots”., representative of poor : ngos bring social issues to the fore and thus act as a spokesperson for the poor. they adopt various means to increase awareness among people leading to more and more participation from people. thus, influencing the government decision-making on people’s behalf., improved service delivery : with the help of ngos , government officials mingle with private individuals to find solution to various societal problems. this allows for smooth functioning due to involvement of locals at all levels i.e., from policy making to policy implementation. also, more involvement of people increases transparency and thus reduces corruption at all levels., crises management : ngos play critical role in promoting intercommunity harmony and authorities often take their help to manage riots and hostile situations. apart from it ngos also play positive role in assisting in relief work undertaken by government during natural and man made disasters., activities undertaken by ngos , advocacy, analysis and awareness raising – acting as a voice for people both on a representative and self-appointed basis; researching, analyzing and informing the public about issues; mobilizing citizen action through media campaigns and other forms of activism; and lobbying business leaders and policymakers., brokerage – acting as an intermediary between different sectors and groups., conflict resolution – acting as a mediator and facilitator..
Contribution to good governance.
Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), 2010
To be covered under the Policy, VOs should broadly have the following characteristics:
The specific objectives of the policy are listed below:
How Non-Governmental Organizations are diiferent from Non-Pofit Organizations
Aspect | Non-Profit Organization (NPO) | Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) |
---|---|---|
Legal Status | Registered under various Indian laws like the ; Trusts Act, 1882; or Section 8 Company under the Companies Act, 2013. | Typically registered under the to receive foreign funding. Some may also register as trusts or societies. |
Funding Sources | Primarily relies on donations, grants, and fundraising efforts from individuals, corporations, and government agencies. | Relies on a mix of domestic and international funding, including foreign donations and grants from NGOs and governments abroad. |
Objectives | Can have a broader range of objectives, including cultural, religious, educational, and social causes. | Usually focused on social or development-related objectives, such as poverty alleviation, healthcare, education, and environmental conservation. |
Government Control | Subject to some degree of government oversight and regulation depending on the type of registration. | Subject to stringent regulation and scrutiny, especially if registered under FCRA, to ensure compliance with foreign funding norms. |
Tax Exemptions | Eligible for tax exemptions under Section 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for donors and the organization itself. | Eligible for tax exemptions under Section 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961, similar to NPOs. |
Tax Exemptions | Governed by a board of trustees, governing body, or board of directors, with defined roles and responsibilities. | Often governed by a board of directors or trustees, but may also involve active participation from volunteers and local communities. |
Focus Areas | May work in a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, education, religion, culture, and more. | Typically concentrated on social and development issues such as healthcare, education, human rights, and environmental protection. |
Accountability and Reporting | Required to maintain detailed financial records, submit annual reports, and adhere to transparency standards as per legal obligations. | Subject to rigorous reporting and accountability requirements, including annual filing with FCRA authorities. |
Foreign Funding Restrictions | Subject to fewer restrictions on foreign funding, although donations from foreign individuals or entities are scrutinized. | Highly regulated and monitored for foreign funding, necessitating compliance with FCRA guidelines. |
Examples | Tata Trusts, Reliance Foundation, Akshaya Patra Foundation | Oxfam India, CARE India, Greenpeace India |
In recent years, Non-Governmental Organizations have chalked up many important accomplishments. They put the environment on the global agenda and pressed reluctant nation states to take it seriously. They insisted that human rights deserve universal respect and embarrassed states into greater compliance. They pressed for the rights and well-being of children, the disabled, women, indigenous peoples. They forced powerful countries to come to the table on disarmament. Scarcely any recent progress in human wellbeing does not owe a good deal to NGOs:
Misappropriation of funds : massive amount of money flows into ngos. this requires accountability and transparency in its functioning which are key for operational efficiencies. over the years, corporate sector has recognized and adopted best governance practices through appropriate channels. the ngo sector should also look to adopt best global practices for rapid and timely development of the nation., the external issue of funding : according to government data a total of 3,068 non-governmental organizations (ngos) received foreign funding above rs. 22,000 or. in 2014-15. it is often said that foreign-funded ngos tries to propagate the foreign propaganda to stall developmental projects, example: kudankulam protest. there is a huge flow of funds into the non-government organization sector and this requires prudence and good practices to maintain accountability and transparency to the benefit of all stakeholders., non accountable, nontransparent undemocratic functioning : cbi records filed in the supreme court show that only 10% of the total registered ngos under the societies registration act file annual financial statements, some of the local and national ngos have been found involved in malpractices and acting irresponsibly, thus undermining the credibility of civil society. it’s a huge concern and poses a great challenge to the development movement spearheaded by ngos in the country., money laundering : corrupt or unscrupulous ngos that receive foreign funds may serve as conduits for money laundering., lack of transparency in the functioning of a large proportion of ngos leads to aversion in donating funds for charitable causes since the general public is largely cynical about the ‘genuineness’ of the nonprofit spirit of the sector., issue of lack of trust and coordination between public sector and non government organisations., fcra related issues : over 1,800 ngos and academic institutes found to be violating laws like foreign contribution (regulation) act (fcra) have been banned by the government from receiving foreign funds., suggestions.
NGOs are distinct from government agencies and for-profit corporations because they are non-profit entities driven by a specific mission or cause. Their primary objectives include social or environmental betterment, and they rely on donations and grants rather than pursuing profit.

Non – Governmental Organisations -NGO
A NGO or non-governmental organization is defined as,” any international organization that is not founded by an international treaty”. NGO is a legally constituted organization, created by private persons or government. They may be totally or partially funded by government but usually maintain their non-governmental status.
It is believed that the voice of people against slavery in mid-19th century gained power and was important part of anti-slavery movement. The phrase. ‘NGO’ came into popular use with the establishment of UNO (United Nations organizations) in 1945, for a consultative role between UN and organizations.
An NGO’s main role became to hear the voice of deprived people, address their problems, take up humanitarian issues, bring aid or help, address developmental aid and sustainable development. Because of their presence main problems could be solved within a nation. But they have branches or work with other organizations to have a better reach. So their transnational networking is extensive. Apart from the term NGO, today, terms like, self helps groups, private voluntary organization and grass root organization are used.
NGOs exits and function effectively where government may not be able reach out or help in areas where government help is not possible. They are greatly involved in the welfare of disadvantaged people, encourage observance of human rights, poverty alleviation(provide the basic skills to find food and maintain themselves)and work with people displaced by natural disasters, like floods, earthquake, drought, tsunami and so on bringing them medical aid.
NGOs maintain good public relations to meet their goals. They work to mobilize support from individuals, private organizations, and local people. Mobilizing support and funds are two basic management techniques which enable an NGO to function properly also each member has the knowledge ,should be able to contribute and help in decision making process and also learn more. Some of their qualities which make them effective are-accountability, credibility and their code of conduct. The presence and important role of NGOs has increased with globalization and environment problems.
NGOs are of two types-one, which is operational-they design/plan and implement development related projects which may be community based, national and international. They work with lot of professional help and volunteers.
The second one is advocacy-these work to defend or promote a specific cause. They try to raise awareness. acceptance, and knowledge by doing press work (getting information published) and conducting activities events. E.g. most of the environmental groups which work to raise awareness about global warming and pollution of rivers.
In India NGOs must be created under a public trust act and enjoys the tax benefits and privileges. There are more than a million NGOs working in India and play a great role in providing relief and help in different parts of the country. Some of the well known and certified NGOs in India are-
Some of the International NGOs are-
NGOs work in difficult conditions (disasters: war or conflict zones) and are contributing immensely towards humanity. We on our part must contribute to them by way of help, manually or financially. We must make efforts to give a helping hand and spend some time working with them selflessly.

National Doctors Day is celebrated in India every year on 1 July in honour of the contributions of physicians to the lives of individuals and communities. This essay on Doctors Day aims to explore the importance of the day and the crucial role they play in Indian society.
Table of Contents
The roots of Doctors Day in India can be traced back to the life and legacy of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, who was an excellent physician and second chief minister of West Bengal.
He worked actively to help the people as a doctor and a public servant. His selfless life inspires us to honor all the doctors on this auspicious day.
The role of doctors can be traced back to Indian society, which has undergone a significant transformation over the centuries. From the practising of Ayurveda by the Vaidyas to the physicians armed with allopathy and the use of new technologies, the journey of medical practice is certainly fascinating. This incredible journey further involves the study of evolution and adaptation.
In ancient times, the healers were figured as divine figures who possessed the knowledge to cure the illness and head off the diseases. The traditional systems of medicine healing ailments such as Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani were deeply rooted in the cultural learnings of India.
On entering the modern era, western medical practices spread roots and led to a mix of traditional as well as medicine. These mixed practices helped in curing the wounds and sickness of the people of India and took care of their healthcare.
With the development of practicing medicine in society, the role of doctors has also seen a drastic change. While people respect them for their knowledge and skills, the rise of the commercialization of healthcare and some sad, occasional examples of unfortunate incidents have led to more complex relationships between doctors and patients. Some of the challenges faced by doctors in the present era are as follows:
Despite the above challenges, the doctors keep on continuing to serve the patients with dedication and are often seen going beyond their official call of duty to ensure the well-being of their patients.
In India National Doctors Day is celebrated for honouring medical professionals and raising awareness about their contributions. Some other ways to celebrate the day include the following:
1. Recognition of Government: On this auspicious day, the Government of India often issues special stamps or coins. Special awards are presented to doctors who have made exceptional contributions to the field of medicine or public health.
2. Celebration in the institution: Many hospitals and medical institutions organize felicitation ceremonies, seminars, and learning workshops to celebrate the day. These events often focus on both celebrating the achievements as well as discussing the challenges faced by doctors in the medical field.
3. Initiatives by Communities: Many communities organize health camps, blood donations, and free medical checkups on this day. Doctors also volunteer their time and expertise to add value to the day.
4. Social Media Campaigns: Social media is yet another popular platform for expressing gratitude to doctors. Many hashtags like #NationalDoctorsDay trend on social media platforms with people sharing their stories of positive experiences with doctors.
Advances in telemedicine, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and personalized medicine make the future of medicine in India look promising. However, there is an urgent need to increase the number of doctors and improve health care, especially in rural areas.
Physicians have an important role to play in maintaining the health and well-being of our society. As we celebrate Doctors’ Day, let us recognize their valuable contributions and support programs that improve their working conditions and overall healthcare in India.
Ans: Doctor’s Day is celebrated on July 1st every year. The day leveraged the doctors’ hard work and dedication to keeping people healthy.
Ans: One can thank their doctor by writing a small thank note, giving a useful gift, or simply saying “thank you.”
Ans: Doctors’ Day is important for us because it reminds us of the important role of doctors and what role do they play in our lives. It also encourages us to appreciate the efforts of doctors in caring for patients.

In India, cricket has become immensely profitable and a destination for the world’s best players. But a tournament victory had eluded it for many years.
By Mujib Mashal
Reporting from New Delhi
India won the men’s Cricket World Cup on Saturday, defeating South Africa to end a dry spell in tournament victories that had lasted over a decade, even as the nation was dominating the sport globally in other measures like talent, cash and influence.
The tournament was played across several Caribbean islands, with a few of the matches hosted in the United States, including at a pop-up stadium in New York. When the final, in Barbados, ended with India declared the champion, it was close to midnight back home, where joyful crowds poured into the streets across several cities.
“Maybe in a couple hours it will sink in, but it is a great feeling,” said Rohit Sharma, India’s captain, who took a tour of the stadium with his daughter propped on his shoulders to thank the crowd. “To cross the line — it feels great for everyone.”
It was a closely fought match, and a deeply emotional one for India, in part because many of its senior players, including Sharma, 37, were near the end of their careers. India last won the World Cup in T20, the shortest format of cricket, in 2007, when Sharma was just getting started. The top prize had also evaded Virat Kohli, 35, one of cricket’s most recognized icons. Rahul Dravid, India’s coach, had never won a World Cup during his long and illustrious career as a player.
All three men ended the night on a happy note, with Sharma and Kohli announcing their retirement from the fast-paced short form of the game. Dravid, who finished his stint as India’s coach, is normally a quiet, stoic presence. But after the win, he was screaming and celebrating.

Another embarrassing exit for english football at a major tournament was looming in gelsenkirchen until bellingham's acrobatic effort in the 95th minute broke slovak hearts..
England's quest to end 58 years of hurt at Euro 2024 remains alive thanks to one moment of Jude Bellingham brilliance, but the Three Lions failed to look like future European champions in sneaking past Slovakia 2-1. Another embarrassing exit for English football at a major tournament was looming in Gelsenkirchen until Bellingham's acrobatic effort in the 95th minute broke Slovak hearts. A minute into extra-time, Harry Kane then completed the comeback to set up a meeting with Switzerland on Saturday in the quarter-finals.
However, any excitement among the England fan base at ending up on the perceived weaker side of the draw was drained away by another turgid performance from Gareth Southgate's men.
England arrived in Germany hyped as pre-tournament favourites thanks to a squad stacked with attacking talent.
Slovakia coach Francesco Calzona insisted on the eve of the game that Southgate is working with "the best squad at the Euros".
But a team featuring the Bundesliga's top scorer Kane, the Premier League's player of the year Phil Foden and a recently crowned Champions League winner in Bellingham has been laboured in possession and easy to defend against.
Until Bellingham's late intervention, England had scored just two goals in four games, while the deficiencies of a makeshift back line were also exploited by Slovakia early on.
The side ranked 45th in the world had already spurned two big chances before Ivan Schranz strolled through the heart of the England defence to slot home his third goal of the tournament on 25 minutes.
England fans dominated all but a small section of the 50,000 capacity AufSchalke Arena and made their disillusionment heard as boos greeted the half-time whistle.
Southgate's men marginally improved after the break but bar a header Kane sent wide from a free-kick and a Declan Rice shot from distance that came back off the post, they had created little as Slovakia sat deep to defend their lead.
After a 0-0 draw against Slovenia that had guaranteed top spot in Group C, Southgate had bemoaned an "unusual atmosphere" as he was pelted with empty beer cups by disgruntled supporters.
'Scoring goals is my release'
The England manager and his players were braced for an even more severe outpouring of rage until Bellingham produced a moment of brilliance that allowed him to answer his critics after two underwhelming performances against Denmark and Slovenia.
"Playing for England, it's a lot of pleasure but you also hear a lot of people talk a lot of rubbish. It's nice when you deliver you can give them a little bit back," said the Real Madrid star of his goal celebration.
"For me playing football, being on the pitch, scoring goals is my release and it's maybe a message to a few people."
Southgate was more understanding of the wave of criticism that is still set to come his side's way before they face the Swiss in Duesseldorf.
"We're putting a plaster over things and giving young players opportunities," said Southgate.
"We're somehow finding a way. I can imagine how everyone is going to react even though we've won but we are still in there. The one thing that cannot be questioned is the desire, the commitment, the character."
The spotlight is on Southgate to find a solution over the next six days to avoid failing again to deliver major tournament glory at his fourth attempt.
Switzerland made light work of beating holders Italy 2-0 on Saturday and are a significant step-up in quality from Slovakia.
The England boss hailed the impact of his substitutes.
Eberechi Eze and Ivan Toney played a part in Kane's winning goal, while Cole Palmer added some thrust from midfield.
However, the fact it took 66 minutes for Southgate to make any changes and his stubbornness in starting 10 of the same 11 in all four games so far has left his judgement open to question.
Bellingham's intervention ensures Southgate will take charge of his country for the 100th time in the quarter-finals.
But England will need to be much improved if he is to stay in his job beyond the century mark.
