•NGOs are government (legally) registered private organizations

sometimes also referred as Nonprofit Organizations. Most of
the activities performed by NGOs are social. NGOs are
generally constituted by people with an intention to bring change
in society. Different NGOs can have their different goal. Some
work to bring social awareness in a particular society. Some work
for poor and underprivileged children and so on. Most NGOs
depend on funding to maintain their operation. In many
countries funding to an NGO can give a benefit of tax
exemption. In India one can register his own NGO under
Societies Registration Act, 1860.

NGO’s plays an important role in the social development of a state, nation or
a community
For the proper developmentof a particularcountry or a region, it is very
importantto bring educationand awarenessto the people about their rights
and duties.
We need to alert the people againstthe impostersand pretenders, which is
generallythe role of politicalparties which they do not tend to do
effectively.
politicalparties are expected to do the job. But in a democracy, politicalparties
keep only votes in their minds and generally focus on selling their party agenda
the manifesto.
In the real sense, the politicalparty that gains a visible majority vote is
returned to power and do not put in much effort over this issue.
Compromising with this issue means a big chunk of society is to remain
disengaged and deprived, without proper knowledge it is not possible to
achieve the goals.

13. Importance
of NGO'S
It has never been made clear but the axiom that the will of the majority

prevail.
Ambitiousand dominatingruling party, while sitting pretty in the seat of
power, gets distancedfrom the real power centre if not by its own choosing
at least by the force of circumstances.
Under such a situation,the emergence of the third force is quite logical.
This third force is something that is not controlledby any political set-upand
has a very significant role to play.In technicallanguage, this third force is
called the NGOs.
It becomes a bridge between the governed and the governor.
NGO’s playsan importantrole in helpingout the common man with their
rightful demandsand also try to help needy people in every possible way.

14. Importance
of NGOS
The first and foremost the NGOs are responsible for disseminating education
among the people at large and making them aware of their rights.
This is the biggest role as well as the biggest challenge for the NGOs. NGOs
seek to achievelarge-scale change promoted indirectly through the influence
of the political system.
NGOs need an efficient and effective group of professional members who are
able to keep supporters informed, and motivated,and must plan and host
demonstrationsand events that will keep their cause in the media.
NGO’s maintain a large informed network of supporters who can be
mobilized for events to garner media attention and influence policy changes;
hence they have the power to reach masses and bring to light any kind of
injustice prevailingwithin society.
