Administration and management of NGO's Text and Case Studies

The NGOs can play a significant role the "Empowerment" of the less fortunate children of the God. India is a country that professes in philanthropy, churity, doing good to others, self-less service; nar-sewa, narayan sewa and motivation of achieving Moksha through the service of "darider-narayan". While the society comes to their rescue through various limbs of the governments, the help and support is falling much below the expectation and the need of this 'totally powerless' segment and other disadvantaged sections viz. children, old, sick, disabled, caste-ridden and the like. India has the largest population of NGOs in the world, even a small city of Chandigarh has several thousands NGOs.

Most of the philanthropists and members of the NGOs are totally ignorant about different managerial aspects of NGO formation and its registration, laws governing and applicable to-in running an NGO, fund-raising and resource hunting from the government, public or foreign agencies, efficient internal management of NGO and its interface with the beneficiaries, and other aspects of administration and management of an NGO. This book is a treatise to educate all concerned on different issues of NGO management.

The authors are of firm opinion that there is a need for great reform of NGOs in terms of their legal status, transparency, accountability and status so that they can really do a marvellous job as was evident in pre independent India.
