INTRODUCTION
What Is an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization)?

An organisation that operates without the assistance of a government is known as a non-

governmental organisation (NGO).
Typically, it is non-profit.
NGOs, also known as civil society groups, are created on a local, national, and international scale to advance a s
ocial or political objective like a humanitarian cause or environmental protection.
NGOs may concentrate their efforts, for instance, on projects related to health or medical emergencies, educatio
n, infrastructure, the defence of minority rights, assistance to the underprivileged, and the lowering of crime.

Understanding NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations)

The term "NGO" is commonly used to describe typically non-

profit, private groups that function independently of the government.
While some NGOs are primarily supported by volunteers, others have paid personnel.
The World Bank classifies NGOs into two major categories:

How Do NGOs Work?

A non-
governmental organisation, or NGO, is a company founded by a group of people with the intention of advancin
g the public, social, or political good of a country or the entire world.

The US State Department claims that the establishment of NGOs was aided by US rules.
These rules are impartial about any NGO's worth or the type of work it performs.

NGOs concentrate on a variety of issues and subjects.

Women's rights, environmental protection, global health, healthcare, political activism, labour unions, religion,
assistance for the elderly, and youth empowerment are a few examples.
Although NGOs are not governed by the government, they are often subject to U.S. law.

Forming an NGO
Any group of people may form an NGO without government approval or involvement. In addition, one need not
be a U.S. citizen to form an NGO in the U.S. However, should an NGO wish to obtain legal benefits such as
exemption from state and federal taxes, it should incorporate and register as an NGO under the relevant laws of
the state in which it's located. An NGO doesn't have to incorporate. For instance, to form a charitable NGO, all
that's required (as is for any charitable trust) is a legal contract and deed that conveys property. While no federal
government involvement comes into play, states in the U.S. may require NGOs with religious, educational, or
charitable missions that may ask for donations to help their ngo.
Without the consent or cooperation of the government, any group of individuals may establish an NGO.
In addition, anyone can found an NGO in the United States, regardless of citizenship.
An NGO should, however, incorporate and register as an NGO in accordance with the applicable laws of the sta
te in which it is based if it wishes to get legal benefits such as exemption from local, state, and federal taxes.
The incorporation of an NGO is optional.
For instance, a formal agreement and a deed transferring property are all that are needed to establish a charitable
NGO (as is the case with any benevolent trust).
NGOs focus on a range of issues and topics.

Several examples include women's rights, the environment, global health, healthcare, political action, labour uni
ons, religion, caring for the elderly, and youth empowerment.
NGOs are not governed by the government, yet they are frequently bound by American law.

The incorporation of an NGO is optional.

For instance, a formal agreement and a deed transferring property are all that are needed to establish a charitable
NGO (as the case with any benevolent trust).

States in the United States may mandate NGOs with charitable, educational, or religious goals that may solicit d
onations to assist their ngo, notwithstanding the absence of federal government involvement

CHAPTER III

PRESENTATION OF DATA AND ANALYSIS

How important is education ?

Education is to improve the lives of others and to leave your community and the world better than you found
it.”

Education is a very important element in every person's life. It creates the basis for the development of oneself
and society. It helps to empower people and make them self-reliant so that they can contribute to the
development of the nation.
Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. Education has
been the only sure way out of poverty for ages. Education for disadvantaged children has disproportionate
benefits worldwide, both for the child and for society as a whole. Children's education must be a priority to
secure the nation's future. However, the sad reality is that disadvantaged children often attend low-quality
schools and do not receive a quality education. Education is their only option to achieve a better life, and
regardless of innate abilities, disadvantaged children do not have equal access to quality education.

Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. Education has
been the only sure way out of poverty for ages. Education for disadvantaged children globally has
disproportionate benefits for both the child and society as a whole. Children's education must be a priority to
secure the nation's future. However, the sad reality is that disadvantaged children often attend low-quality
schools and do not receive a quality education. Education is their only option to achieve a better life, and
regardless of innate abilities, disadvantaged children do not have equal access to quality education. Nelson
Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. Education has been
the only sure way out of poverty for ages. Education for disadvantaged children has disproportionate benefits
worldwide, both for the child and for society as a whole. The United Nations considers education a global
"passport to human development". Children's education must be a priority to secure the nation's future.
However, the sad reality is that disadvantaged children often attend low-quality schools and do not receive a
quality education. Education is their only option to achieve a better life, and regardless of innate abilities,
disadvantaged children do not have equal access to quality education.

India is largely a poor or low-income country, with 134 million people living in extreme poverty – living on less
than $2 a day – and 1.162 billion low-income people – living on $2–10 a day. The pandemic has expanded the
ranks of the poor by 75 million people. Cash-strapped parents often overlook the potential benefits of a quality
education. In many families, the short-term need for income outweighs the long-term benefits of education.
Poor parents put their children to work or leave them at home to help with household chores, especially girls
who help raise their younger siblings. Children skip school and get stuck in the cycle of poverty by giving up
on education.There is an immediate need for innovative solutions to basic education and by not being able to
provide the required quality of education in the quantity that is needed in India, the country is not making a
noticeable dent in the problem. We are not giving our children anything different than what children received
decades ago. Children from all over the world deserve a quality education, which is recognized as a
fundamental right in most nations. By not providing this to them, we are essentially entrenching poverty even
more for them. Children should at least have the ability to read and write and possibly gain the ability to break
the cycle of poverty. The future of our country and the success of future generations depend on it.
Private Schools

The overcrowding and underperformance of schools in the government system paved the way for the parallel
private education system to flourish in India. Private schools have mushroomed across the country catering to
the needs of all income groups. Almost one-third of Indian students choose to go to a private school and pay for
it.
According to our Tare Zameen Foundation report, the number of private schools has quadrupled over the past
three decades. A significant proportion of India's 400,000 unaided private schools have annual fees of less than
Rs 20,000 ($275). These low-cost private schools are now synonymous with education that is community-
based, adaptable and more accountable. Parents prefer private schools over public schools. This is related to
economic aspirations, English fluency, computer skills and lack of confidence and poor academic performance
in public schools. Indian private schools are also more efficient, spending 3.25 times less. Educators in these
schools also have lower absenteeism rates, resulting in more learning time for their students.
Filling the Gap – Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
India has a large number of charities or non-governmental organizations that work to improve education and
many other social issues that India faces. NGOs have become an important tool in addressing some of India's
most pressing issues, including basic education, sanitation, child rights, housing, poverty and women's
empowerment. Out of a total of 768,839 NGOs, 61,064 are engaged in education (8.02 percent), according to
the Sector-Wise NGO Directory registered with NGO Darpan (Niti Ayog). Although a large number of these
NGOs appear to receive medium to high funding, fluctuations in funding each year and inefficiencies in
resource allocation lead to patchy effectiveness.
Here are some of the education NGOs in India whose work we admire

Promoters of the Tare Zameen foundation

1. Pankaj Jha – Project management consultant

2. Biskeshan saw – Founder and chairman of Tare Zameen foundation.
3. Sanjana wadhamkar – Actively looking for new opportunities.

India went under lockdown once the COVID-19 outbreak started there.

The fourth unlocking step has been reached, however educational institutions are still not permitted to reopen de
spite the fact that this is slowly being removed.
The collapse of these institutes has had a significant influence on research.
Most private educational institutions have switched to virtual learning, using video conferencing for lectures an
d e-books to study from, to make up for this loss.
But many kids in rural regions are unable to attend online classes and are unable to obtain the materials they nee
d to study because of the lack of contemporary technology and gadgets.
Numerous such underprivileged families reside in the South Delhi neighbourhoods of Sapera Basti, Babu Camp
, Sambav Camp, Vimbasti, and Viru Camp.
The Tare Zameen Foundation coordinates the free distribution of books to poor kids through the project Meri Pe
hchan.
Along with this, our Foundation has started an initiative to offer basic education to kids who are unable to go to
school because of the pandemic.

In such a challenging time, the group is doing everything it can to support kids in continuing their education.
This will provide the kids and their families a glimmer of hope during these trying times.
The organisation is giving it all it has, but it also needs your help in this worthwhile endeavour.
To help the kids continue their education with the aid of our foundation, our organisation also gives them free b
ooks.

We are all suffering from this illness during this terrible moment.
But this shouldn't be done at the expense of jeopardising the prospects of these young, bright minds, who still ha
ve many untapped potentials.
Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most effective weapon you can employ to change the world."

Achievements/ Awards

Connecting Dream Foundation presents the NGO Excellent Awards to the Tare Zameen foundation

Organization Focus areas

1.Education :
No matter if the person is a boy or a girl, education is an essential part of their existnce.
Using a school awareness initiative, Save the Children reached out to the children from disadvantaged backgrou
nds.
A person is encouraged by education to get smarter, to learn new things, and to comprehend the realities of the
world.
In India, the importance of an hour is particularly crucial for women's education.
Many children in India come from struggling households and are unable to afford a good education or health
car e because there are no efficient charity programmes for children's education.
Education, coupled with higher education, aids in the development of today's youth into significant, wise
decisi on-makers.
The government's objective of universal access to education, employment, and prosperity is closely allied with t
he NGO.

In general, residents in rural areas don't think education is necessary for girls and rarely desire to send their daug
hters to school.
Our society's cruel mentality, which views women primarily as housewives and family caregivers, is to blame f
or the gender gap in schooling.
Education gives you an equal chance to work as an employee and a professional.
All girls are educated and expected to develop into capable adults who can not only take care of them but also c
ontribute more to their society. They use what they learn as a gift to better the future of their families.
Girls with skills can help put an end to unfair social ills like underage marriage and dowry.
Education for girls must be a priority
2. Health :
The menstrual and reproductive health of women is a very important aspect of women’s. However, India is
lagging behind in this aspect due to the taboo related to menstruation, and the lack of menstrual hygiene
management facilities. Millions of girls drop out of school annually due to the shame on the subject and
unavailability of menstrual hygiene facilities. 70% of all the reproductive diseases in India are caused by poor
menstrual health. Underprivileged women opt for unhygienic materials to absorb their menstrual flow because
they cannot afford healthier materials. Many women are not even aware of the importance of using hygienic
materials during those cycles. The Covid-19 situation has made things worse for menstruating women. The
lockdown badly hit the income sources of many who earned through daily wage labor. This has created a barrier
for women to obtain the necessary staff for their menstrual hygiene. The once who had chosen to replace rags
with sanitary napkins kit may have to go back to the unhygienic materials they once used. The pandemic has
left women with no choice but to sacrifice their health.
Women’s reproductive and menstrual health is a crucial component of their
development., India is falling behind in this area since menstruation is still taboo and there aren't enough faciliti
es for managing menstrual hygiene.
Due to the stigma surrounding the topic and the lack of menstrual hygiene facilities, millions of girls drop out of
school each year.
In India, unhealthy menstruation is the root cause of 70% of all reproductive illnesses.
Because they cannot afford better materials, women in poverty choose unsanitary materials to absorb their mens
trual flow.
A lot of ladies aren't even aware of how crucial it is to use hygienic supplies during those cycles.
For women who are on their periods,the Covid 19 problem has made things
worse.The lockdown severely impacted many people's sources of income.

3 .Empowerment :

Men and women are given equal rights under the Indian Constitution, however there are still gender differences.
According to studies, prejudice against women is pervasive in all spheres, including homes, workplaces, and
other settings. Women are excluded from or given a disadvantage in decision-making processes and in
accessing economic and social resources wherever there is gender disparity. Almost all women’s and children’s
organisations have worked to combat discrimination on various levels over the years.

However, the Covid-19 pandemic simply made the campaign for equality and against prejudice more difficult.

It undid decades of progress India had made toward gender equality and widened gaps that already existed for
women and girls in terms of social and economic security, healthcare, education, and other areas.

It also contributed to a sharp rise in domestic abuse of women and girls.The National Family Health Survey
2015– 16 (NFHS–4) found that only 14% of women who reported experiencing abuse actively sought
assistance.

Patriarchy’s pervasiveness, a lack of chances and education, as well as a lack of awareness, have caused
thousands of women to suffer in silence.

Here are 10 NGOs working to advance gender equality and support women in claiming their proper position in
society.

1. Gram Vikas Trust :

The Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) focuses on women's empowerment, sustainable livelihoods, health and hygiene, a
nd child rights.
GVT has worked with individuals from marginalised populations that are vulnerable to exploitation in complica
ted sociopolitical environments since its founding in 2001.
The Trust works to achieve integrated development via the involvement of the populace and has established end
uring relationships with corporate, non-
profit, and governmental organisations as well as with concerned communities and groups.
It is currently operating in more than 200 villages in the Gujarati districts of Bharuch and Narmada.
GVT's goal is to build a strong, independent society free from injustice and prejudice, with equal possibilities fo
r all.
It strives to promote a democratic and equitable way of life where all women, regardless of their social or econo
mic standing, have access to basic infrastructure services.

2. Gramin Vikas Evam Chetna Sansthan

This nonprofit organisation for women aims to empower and improve underprivileged rural communities, suppo
rt women, promote craftsmen through their trade, and create jobs.
In 1998, the Barmer, Rajasthan-based Gramin Vikas Evam Chetan Sansthan (GVCS) was established.
It is dedicated to empowering female artisans by establishing home-
based craft work as a viable source of income.
With only 10 original members, GVCS has expanded into a sizable organisation that now supports over 22,000
women in 75 villages.
GVCS has been able to work on a wide range of rural development initiatives thanks to a growing network of w
omen artisans working in a variety of craft forms. These initiatives include the creation of self-
help groups, or SHGs, providing fodder for cattle affected by drought, and developing educational initiatives for
both girls and women.

Fundraising

The phrase “fundraising methods” describes the strategies employed by nonprofit organization’s to raise money
now or in the future as well as gifts in kind for administrative expenditures, client services, and funding for
research. Fundraising is an essential, if not vital, source of income for charities in times of diminished
government financial support. Any nonprofit organization's success depends on fundraising.
There are numerous ways to raise money to assist humanitarian endeavours, but donor dollars are also highly so
ught after.
Effective fund raising depends on selecting the appropriate strategies and tactics

How to Fundraise for an NGOin India

1. Events :
Putting together an event is a tried-and-true way to raise money and support for a
cause. Many organisations choose to host an event when they raise money for the first
time.
There are countless different event categories, and fresh, inventive events are created daily.
A well-
planned event can raise a lot of money, but one should weigh the resources used against the anticipated benefits.
It is advisable to select or create an activity that may be repeated rather than picking a one-
time event (e.g. annually).
As a result, the organisers' experience and public awareness might both increase.

2. Personal approach:
Meeting potential donors in person presents fantastic opportunity to raise support and money. Personal
interaction has a greater influence than any other type of communication, after all. Depending on the magnitude
of the contribution you plan to ask for, personal solicitation is a time-consuming method of raising money that
may take some effort before the relationship and trust have reached the point where you can make the request.
odes:
3. Fundraising Network:

You approach potential donors through your personal networks and contacts when you engage in network fundr
aising or friendraising.
A "friend-to-friend" strategy is effective anywhere and can be applied.
This approach is particularly successful if you engage with so-
called "connectors," or people who have a large network and are well-
known and respected in their community and are willing to spread the word within their network.
However, any current donor or other well-wisher might also serve as a reliable source to attract new donors.
To further the cause, you can also enlist the help of an organization's own employees and board of directors.
When someone they know asks them directly, people are more likely to comply.

ChapterIV

CONCLUSION
The role of NGOs in providing basic education for all was based on a neoliberal development agenda. Although
the goal of achieving primary education was not achieved, the role of NGOs improved the situation. Where they
have failed is to anticipate how neoliberal education enables international social welfare. Many cultures where
these initiatives have been implemented have rejected these educational initiatives and not actively participated
in them (for various reasons that are beyond the scope of this website). To ensure that developing countries are
able to break out of poverty, international development as a whole must change its pattern. The wholesale use
of neoliberal tools for development must change. Therefore, international initiatives need to change their
approaches to better meet the needs of the communities they work with.
One tool that can achieve this is culturally relevant education. NGOs must be organizations that advocate
for the use of these tools, as their role is to represent the needs of civil society and those most marginalized by
the current system. To change the role of NGOs, international social work must become a more active player.
The task of social work in this situation is not to stand up for a specific model that can endanger the work of a
social worker, but to help create more networks of cooperation at all levels of educational initiatives.
International development agencies can thus begin to work equally with local communities by bridging social
capital. This in turn can help lead to greater democratic dialogue between local communities and NGOs' and
lead to the validation of indigenous knowledge and culture. This in turn can lead to a greater sense of well-being
that is based on the value of local cultures rather than their ability to contribute to the global economy. Local
communities have the ability to promote and achieve their own goals, they just need to be given a chance and
NGOs need to let them.
In conclusion, the performance of our current educational system falls short of what it should.Many children, pa
rticularly those from lowincome families, diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, and urban regions, are freque
ntly left behind by an educational system that does not satisfy their requirements.A large portion of this dysfunc
tion is caused by an outdated system that continues to support some people's points of view.
compared to other groups of individuals, and to the economic divides that frequently dictate the educational opp
ortunities available to them.
This system's design gives a lot of possibilities for failure and unfavourable outcomes.
Many students who are impacted by educational inequality frequently have learning gaps and do not have
acces s to as high of a level of education as kids from more fortunate backgrounds.
Additionally, because our economy depends on innovation and our capacity to perform superbly in a particular i
ntellectual subject, educational disparities in our society are harming our possibilities for economic growth.
more than anything.
