Material type: TextTextPublication details: New Delhi; Society for Participatory Research in Asia; 1991Description: 112pSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • 302.3 VOL
Summary: This study on the history, roles and related aspects of voluntary development organisations in India evolved through our own intensive involvement in supporting the growth and development of voluntary initiatives in the country. As an educational support organisation to grass-roots initiatives, we began to learn about contemporary challenges and problems facing voluntary organisations in India As a result, in early 1987, we began to formulate broad ideas about this study. In our discussions with leaders of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in India, we elaborated a design for the study which would create an opportunity for wider inter action and dialogue. Over the 30 month period since July 1988, interactions with many voluntary organisations and leaders took place. This created the possibility for evolving a shared knowledge about NGOs in India. We are grateful to International Development Research Centre, Canada for the financial support to the study and its documents. We also acknowledge efforts and time contributed by Balaji Pandey, ISED, Bhubaneshwar, Binoy Acharya, UNNATI, Ahmedabad and Anil Kumar Singh of VANI, New Delhi in this endeavour. We are happy to have been involved in conducting this study. We hope to continue this process of study and reflection. We believe that the issues addressed in this study will require continuous reflection and dialogue. We hope that the popular documents, study report, annotated bibliography and case studies, produced during this process will continue to contribute to this ongoing process of reflection within the community of NGOs in India, and outside.
