INTRODUCTION OF COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

INTRODUCTION

This study addressed the following question: what are NGOs

doing to make themselves more responsive to the long-term
interests of the communities they serve? While NGOs are the
main development actors in many local communities in the
global south, doubt and criticisms have arisen as to their
legitimacy as civil society actors representing the people they
serve and their ability to deliver on the objectives for which
they exist.

5
There are many studies that reveal the negative implications
of the role of NGOs in community development and the
obstacles they face to legitimacy and effectiveness.
However, they remain the bearers of great financial
resources and great hope in the poverty alleviation mission
of international development. Because of the important role
they hold in the international development agenda and the
influence they have in local spheres, the on-the- ground
practices of NGOs deserve a closer look.
Given the doubts that have emerged, how do NGOs
themselves see their purpose and what are they doing to
respond to the challenges they face? Through interviews
with NGO directors in Mozambique, this study will draw out
the web in which NGOs operate from their own perspective,
and establish what NGOs are doing to better meet
community needs. Their representations of the environment
they operate in and the agency they use to improve their
performance will highlight options and opportunities 2 at the
national and sub-national levels to make space for more
effective and sustainable community development
interventions.
DEFINING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NGOs :

The NGOs assessed in this study are community development

NGOs. Community development NGOs are understood here
as organizations working in the global south that operate in
relatively peaceful settings focusing on development

6
(intermingled with relief) at the local level addressing needs
across multiple sectors (water, health, etc.).
This group does not include NGOs that operate at multiple
levels (national and subnational) simultaneously on singular
technical areas. Nor does it include advocacy NGOs or
coalitions whose main agenda is to influence specific policies.
Community development NGOs tend to access resources,
frame community issues, and conduct interventions at the
local level. They do these things in relation to, if not in
cooperation with, other local entities that make up the
public, private and civil society sectors.
However, the distinctions and divisions between these
spheres are blurred. The term community development is
most commonly associated with northern planning studies
where it connotes planning around physical space, financial
investment or the environment. Even in studies of the global
south, the term can carry the connotation of northern-
driven, centralized, or colonial (in historical accounts)
strategies for social or physical change. Despite these
unrelated associations, the term 3 community development
was applied in this study as there was no other descriptor for
NGOs that operate across multiple sectors at the local level.

THE RISE OF NGOs :

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
7
to new NGOs from all over the globe. Since the Indian
government only provides 1.4 percent of their GDP for
healthcare, NGOs have seen the need to succeed in their
initiatives and care for the citizens Originally, official aid from
the global north supplied direct budget support to foreign
governments.
The non-government sector has come of age. Never before
has it hogged the limelight as now, following the agitation
over the Lokpal Bill. “Civil society has made national news for
the first time. We have been in the headlines for three
consecutive months,” says Amitabh Beher, executive director
of the National Foundation of India, a non-profit in Delhi.
India has around 3.2 million registered non-government
organisations (NGOs). Indians have more per capita NGOs
than hospital beds. The Central Statistical Organisation of
India states there are around four NGOs for every 1,000
people in urban areas and 2.3 NGOs for every 1,000 rural
population. Their work spans a wide spectrum, from judiciary
to legislatures to media. There is hardly any ministry that
does not support or engage an NGO. Due to its wide reach it
is often called the third sector.
The non-government sector came into prominence in the late
1960s when a new generation was maturing in post-
Independence India. This was a generation that measured
legitimacy of a political party according to its skills in meeting
popular aspirations. The premise that macro-economic inputs
would stimulate economic growth at the national level and,
in turn, alleviate poverty among individuals. In the 1980s,

8
despite failing to meet expectations, loans to governments
were not abandoned but rather accompanied by increasing
structural adjustment requirements, including the scaling
back of public spending by loan recipient governments that is
associated with neoliberal economic policies (Mathie and
Cunningham 2003).The cutback of public spending left a gap
in basic services for the poor once provided for by the
government. In many parts of Africa, where colonial systems,
civil wars, and transition systems were ending, the slate was
clean for the emergence of new systems to address public
needs .The rise of structural adjustment and decrease of
public spending in the global south was accompanied by a
reframing of long term needs of the local poor as unique
problems, decoupled from macroeconomic growth, and
solvable outside the public sector. Official donors
dramatically increased financing to NGOs for poverty
alleviation generating an explosion in the numbers of
organizations in relief and development (Craig 2007,
Campfens1997, Edwards and Hulme in the 1990s with a
renewed focus on efficiency. This new approach to poverty
alleviation carried assumptions that non-governmental
entities were more efficient than the government (Edwards
and Hulme 1996,Lewis 2002). As representations and world
views of relief and development NGOs became part of a
global mainstream (Lewis and Opoku-Mensah 2006), they
benefited from the normative assumptions that they were
more trustworthy and accountable than governments
(Ebrahim 2009).

9
In their first twenty years as development actors, NGOs were
given “golden child” or “magic bullet” status in development;
there was a real hope that they would make a significant
dent in global poverty (Lewis and Opoku-Mansah2006 p.666).
Today, academics, general critics, and paradoxically even
official donors (northern governments), no longer see NGOs
as the ultimate saviours (ibid.).
In the global south, NGOs do not carry the same positive
image they do in the mainstream global north.
APPROACHES TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:
The range of answers provided on the meaning and purpose
of community development can be roughly divided into four
categories:
1) poverty and power;
2) community autonomy;
3) capacity building;
4) meeting basic needs
The definitions reveal the diversity in the philosophies of
development and perceptions of purpose that NGOs grapple
with. Without overplaying the relationship between
definitions offered on the spot and the core ethos or broadly
internalized practices of an organization, I will compare four
ways of defining community development. By providing
insight into how NGO directors imagine their organizations
adding value to communities, these renderings become a
launching point to evaluate NGO intentions on their own, as

10
well asthe compromises they make in the path to their
expressed ideals. One director said you have to fill the
stomach and the mind at the same time. Another definition
began:
“Lots of times, people think we develop the people. The
person develops themselves . We remove the obstacles.”
Those who responded that community development is about
providing for basic needs might be criticized by those who
would say that service delivery does not alter the socio-
political relationships that play a role in poverty. Bebbington,
Hickey and Mitlin, for example, claim in their book Can NGO’s
Make Difference?, that NGOs are apt to adopt “technocratic”
rather than “transformational” approaches because of their
close association with the international development
industry, and that this approach reduces their relevance as
agents of change (2008). The only directors that produced
this definition were national NGOs. However, unlike the
Bebbington, Hickey, Mitlin book suggests, these NGOs were
concerned with a long term empowerment agenda. In fact,
based on other responses they seemed equally or in some
cases more rooted in long term change through community
ownership of interventions than others.
The fact that international NGOs were less likely to mention
service delivery is more likely due to their reluctance to signal
“technocratic” modes than the existence of a deeper
commitment to “transformation.” This is posited because
international NGOs may be more sensitive to the discourse
taking place in the global north (that down plays the value of

11
“technocratic” interventions). Indeed, basic needs can be
redrawn as congruous with Amartya Sen’s definition of
development as laid out in Development as Freedom which
shows that development depends on means that enable a
person to participate with meaning and dignity in the social
sphere of their community (1999). The poverty/power
definition offered said that “poverty is the result of unequal
power. People aren’t poor, they are made poor.” Following
that it was said that community development is when
“people themselves participate in the whole process of local
government, development of policy, distribution of
resources, seeing to their well being, and implementing
equality… and all are included.”
This response respects the role of local government while
privileging the role of the people in government decision-
making. By placing great importance on participation in
existing community institutions, rather than in NGO efforts,
the NGO is pushed into the background to act as facilitator.
This approach might be seen as responding well to long term
community needs by giving credence to long term
institutions and strengthening their relationships with
community members. But to do so effectively, the NGO
would have to be very conscious of, and willing to address,
the impact of its own presence on the local balance of power,
and not see itself as natural or neutral. It should also be
careful not to be callous toward helping communities
materially which may be necessary to ensure participation.

12
An NGO, for example, that helps to form a parent teacher
association (PTA) by putting field agents on the ground to
animate the community, should not be unwilling to help
them finance a roof to cover a school that the PTA managed
to build through their own time and resources. Overall, the
power/poverty definition combined with an appreciation for
local government, as long as it is truly adaptable to specific
community needs, points to a greater achievement of long
term community interests relative to other approaches
offered. The “autonomy” responses claimed (as did the
power definition) that the involvement of the community in
problem-solving is critical to community development, but
they made no mention of the state.
It was unclear whether these responses perceive community
development as ensuring participation in initiatives carried-
out either by any actor, or if the NGOs see themselves as the
main development actors and give primacy to communities
in relation to their own work. These definitions were
provided by the three international religious organizations.
Finally, the “capacity building” definition focused on
community development as a means for helping a
community address its own problems. One of these
responses referred specifically to increasing the community’s
ability to “defend rights on a higher level,” alluding,
presumably, to state responsibility. Another explained
community development as building the capacity “to make
appropriate decisions around one’s individual life and
community life” and another as “helping the community

13
reach a level where they can solve their own problems and
find resources outside...”
On its own, this frame leaves unanswered the question of
how a community or individuals with improved capacity
pursues resolution to their problems. Would they, once
enabled, seek problem solving through participation in local
government, through policy refer , through community
managed self-help projects, or through greater influence
over NGO initiatives? While capacity building is a popular
approach, and has potential if employed appropriately, on its
own, it does not highlight the short term and long term roles
of the actors involved in development and therefore may be
used to justify a wide variety of interventions with varying
effects on target communities, some of which may not be
productive (for example building the capacity of local people
to demand resources from government bodies that are ill-
equipped to provide them). The definitions provided draw
out the ideals that NGOs strive for but also reveal the
complicated nature of the roles and purposes of NGO
interventions in community development and their potential
impacts on other local actors and short term and long term
development goals. While an overall assessment of the ideals
themselves has been provided, how they translate in reality
can only be understood through greater knowledge of how
NGOs implement their activities and with consideration for
the constraints they experience, and the technology they
employ in practice.

14
The analysis below will address these elements, looking first
at the tools employed in their “participatory”
implementation, and then the constraints they face as
organizations.

INTRODUCTION OF OUR
TURNING POINT CONSULTANCY
SERVICES ORGANIZATION :

15
ABOUT:
Turning point consultancy services is a group of young men
and women who come from all walks of life with the motto
of being the change they want to see in the society. The
biggest problem our country faces is the presence of too
many people discussing issues but few trying to find
solutions. Where we understand that finding loopholes are
important, we believe every small action gets counted and it
is important hat we give away the complaints and try to do
things for a brighter tomorrow.
If we want our democracy to work, it becomes extremely
important that civil society is responsible and actively
involved because when we get to choose the government we
become a part of it and as has been rightly said, with great
power comes great responsibilities.

WHAT DO TURNING POINT CONSULTANCY

SERVICES DO:

16
We believe in quick action and problem-solving. So our
actions are situation-specific. We are teachers, health
workers, food suppliers, legal aid providers, awareness
creators, environmentalists, and even municipality workers
as and when needed and that is what makes us special. We
want to serve in whatever way possible and service doesn't
have to wait for opportunities to arrive.
Young minds are creative, energetic and ready to dive into
risks, this eagerness however dies later and eventually we
end up in our own cocoon where we close our eyes upon
everything which we wanted to change in our childhood.
Turning point consultancy services is a platform where
everyone gets opportunity to create the change they aspire
for. We welcome new ideas, polish them and execute .We
ensure everyone is heard and we try to do away with
formalities so people could connect and we get better ideas ,
no matter how crude it maybe. Turning point consultancy
services has lived a long life already. Every time a young kid
saw something wrong in society and could not do anything, it
was the birth of a part of Turning point consultancy services.
We are a group are those grown-ups who always wanted to
give back something to society but couldn't. So Turning point
consultancy services was born to give a platform to all and
what could be better than creating y our city better so it
started at Vizag.

Scope of the our TPCS Organisation :

The scope of TPCS organisation to develop the society, to
help every people more and more and more and for poor
17
people distribute food .and children are also developed in
every society. All children are educated. On-Government
Organizations are the non-profit voluntary groups
established at local, national or international level. They
perform different tasks for solving problems and
development of society. NGOs are connected with
government or private sector firms. They deal with some
social issues like women empowerment, girl child, gender
issues, education, pollution, street children, slum dwellers,
health, urban development, human rights, concerns of less
privileged etc. NGOs bring up people's concerns and issues to
the government and policy makers non-profit making,
voluntary, service oriented/development oriented
organization, either for the benefit of members or of other
members of the population. It is an organization of private
individuals who believe in definite basic social principles and
who structure their activities to bring about development to
communities that they are servicing. An independent,
democratic, non-sectarian people’s organizations working for
the empowerment of economic and/or socially marginalized
groups. As a result, development of courses in the nonprofit
stream had also taken a back seat. However, now the scene
is entirely different. Government policies, work of the
existing NGOs and the media have a lot to do with bringing
Nonprofit management into a normal career option.

ROLE OF OUR TPCS ORGANIZATION:

NGO’s play a significant role in bringing social change in
society and development of society. In different parts of the
world, it has proven that these organizations have many
sides. To be a member of it people need to be educated,
enthusiastic and inspired.
Now we shall discuss the roles of NGO’s:
1. The organization i.e. NGO’s help educates those section of
society which was left behind in the society since its
inception and never enjoyed benefits that government has
facilitated them with. Such as women’s education, STs, and
SCs.
2. NGO’s have given and are still giving their best in
eliminating the gender inequality which has also been a
practice since earlier times. Girls face many problems no
right to education, forcefully making them marry, not letting
24
them work outside the houses. Therefore, NGO’s try to
eliminate this evil ideology of some societies.
3. NGO’s Are the reason why women are not able to move
out of the four walls of the houses and participate in politics,
business, social activities. Now women have witnessed a
whole new world due to the efforts of NGO’s and academic
institutions. We have seen increasement in the number of
women workers. There are many foundations such as Agrani
foundation, Eklavya, Sewa and Environmental Action Group
etc. Day by day women are seeing new opportunities for
themselves due to the help of NGO’s.
4. The use of technology, level of production, a pattern of
utilization is almost same all over the world whereas the
world is destroying natural resources to achieve their goals
and selfish reasons. That is why NGO’s take birth to keep
eyes on such activities. There have been many health issues
due to the overutilization of natural resources causing
pollution which later cause health problems and calamities.
In this case, NGO’s deserve an appreciation as they have
done a lot to work for such causes.
5. It’s not just that because of developmental processes
environment has been affected but it also has moved people
from their place of origin or birth not just that they are not
even compensated and given other place to live. They are left
homeless. Hence NGO’s play a significant role to provide
them shelter and look after all the legal processes. Many
projects are taking place such as the construction of houses,
roadways, dams etc and compensate these people.

25
 6. NGO’s one of the most important task would be that they
are helping and restoring the dignity of those who always
have been ignored and never enjoyed those activities which
other people did such as women facing gender inequality,
untouchables discrimination, racial, religious discrimination
in society. These NGO’s are working on a national and
international level and have gained great importance in the
development of society. It helps in maintaining a society
which is free from all the biases and social evils. It is setting
an example of humanity is still alive. They help in spreading
awareness and guiding.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK DONE

Fund Rising :

Meeting to develop strategies for fund raising

26
Asking for money is never easy, but it is nonetheless a
necessity for most community groups. Although it's
undoubtedly hard, but it was a fun and exciting
experience. It is also an experience that i would like to
be shared. For leaders of community organisations one
of the challenges is ensuring that everyone in the group
has some involvement in raising money.
While I acknowledge that getting money into your
organisation is important, the role of the me as a fund
raiser is very important . Without sufficient funding
coming in, groups can struggle to get their important
message across, provide their services or indeed
survive as a group at all.

Fundraising activities can determine the future of my

organisation. A strong fundraising effort can ensure
there are adequate funds to support all of organization
activities; a poor performance can drain money and
threaten the very survival of my organisation.
The first step I took for functional fundraising strategy is
to establish a good fundraising strategy. I developed
fund raising strategy time to time and checked or
tweaked constantly. Flexibility is vital so one can react to
new opportunities or curtail activities that are either not
practical or not profitable.
I outline my goals. What do I hope to achieve?
Research past fundraising activities - what has worked
and what hasn't?

27
I Work out who my friends and potential friends are and
who is willing to support my organisation. I Conducted
market research with members, friends, etc., collecting
their good ideas and examples of what has worked in
their groups to raise money.
I detail a case to support each prospective fundraising
activity. I Describe and decide on the methods I plan to
use to raise funds and set an estimated target for each
method. I also set a timeline and a year planner noting
good times for the organisation to raise funds. Pay
attention to grant deadlines.
I Documented organization progress so that if it is
struggling, the bells start ringing early enough to
change. I establish an evaluation strategy. I realized, if
you are asking for money, it is easier to raise money for
a specific project or activity than for the organisation as
a whole. Most people would rather know exactly where
their money is being spent. I also recommended to have
a donation drive from foreign countries. And on my
request they added the donation portal for foreign
countries on our website. We reach out to foreigners
through big social tack media pages and asked them to
put the story regarding our cause. And I also myself
donated Rs 8,000 from my saving from the internship I
done. Fundraising was really a fun and exciting
experience.

Making and Editing Videos :

28
It is the screenshot of me using Filmora Software to
make video on the importance of vaccination.

I am a professional video editor and have a good

knowledge of software like Filmora and Adobe Primiere
Pro. And i used this skills for contribution in my
organization as well.
I was making and editing Video, In these 30 days from 6
June to 7 July. I made and edited different types of
videos on awareness regarding covid - 19, myths
regarding it, Dos and Don’t’s and importance of
vaccination. These types of topic was given to me for
making videos.

29
This is the screenshots of my WhatsApp group made by
founder of Tpcs Organization. In this group I have send
all videos. And all reports. These type of topic given by
me for making reports and video. We made alot of
videos on awareness for covid - 19 and posted it on our
social media handels of our organization.

Report Making and Data Handling :

During this global pandemic because of the spread of
Covid-19, 1 took the decision to work with TPCS
organization as a volunteer. I worked 30 days from 6
June to 7 July in TPCS organization (non-government
30
organisation) in the time of covid-19. That time I am
making report of every work or social event in NGO. And
I worked on report making of social event on NGO.
Social event like food distribution. Which day or which
village food distributed. every data and content given by
me and I am making report And in Maharastra food
distribution in every drive.

I joined the team and helped several communities to

fight in this critical situation. The main work done was to
maintain records, Handling Data as it was the most
difficult one because we were supposed to go to the
places and that too keep moving and jabing all the
necessary items was a challenge. The main work of the
data analyst is to analyse the given data. Data analysis
is a process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming and
modelling data with the goal of discovering useful
information, informing conclusions and supporting
decision-making. Normal local database. The company
31
will collect the data and send the respective data to the
respective person. Data Analyst will see the data and
classify into some of the categories. He will classify the
data according to some criteria. He will first inspect the
data. What the data was and what the data is saying
Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches,
encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of
names, and is used in different business, science, and
social science domains. In today's business world, data
analysis plays a role in making decisions more scientific
and helping businesses operate more effectively.
We had done work as a type metre in which we got a
location from several districts of Bihar work of power to
organise and manage data for the ration distribution
campaigning we had created Google form for the
betterment and easily availability of flour for the people
that they can easily access the food and the all other
resources which was provided by TPCS groups.

We had managed the data for 4 different categories :

1. Volunteers
2. Coordinator
3. Drivers
4. Vendors and cook's
Volunteer: We had communicated to the head of the
SEF group for allocating letters to the volunteers. It is
the most transparent task for volunteers to provide them
32
the right word and information describing where to go
with respect to the timing with the package of food. The
volunteers were trained about how to update Google
forms because as we know while distribution of ration it
was going to get very clumsy and machine for avoiding
all sort calculation errors for the offered items. All were
taught how to use Google form in which we taught them
how to create a new form and how to add all the
Names,Aadhar card number, Phone number city, or
village district etc.

33
Apart from that them scanning of package and the data
the packets of food which was given by SEF group were
having a dynamic barcode attached with them in which
the volunteer need scan the packet and the detail of the
food consumer.

Coordinator: The coordinator of TPCS taught how to

take care and look after all the rations and food which
are coming from other sources. Here also comes the
work of analysing each and every item and counting all
the number of Goods. The work was done step by step.
So the coordinators were not able to handle huge
number of donations data and to reduce their work load

34
the were supposed to use ms excel for their
convenience and to work in less time.

Driver: The work of the drivers was the most important

as there were supposed to look after the routes. It look
hours on Zoom meeting conference at SEF group. The
drivers were supposed to travel in the area in which the
chairman has told them and all stuff and also we
suggested some idea to the driver from our end Like if
huge gathering is coming for taking the ration they have
to take care of social distancing for that we provided
ideas to them.

Vendor's and Donation: The hard copy of all data was

converted into soft copy as all the transactions which
were done with vendors need to be shared with the
authorities in the form of Excel sheets. As I have done a
course in my university on Workshop on Computer
Applications so with the help of the course it was quite
easy to handle making Excel Sheets. As in our
university's student organizations we had have many
events and got knowledge about how to pick sponsors
and how to work, so that had helped a lot.

35
For my work I was also awarded as the
best performer of the week :

CHALLENGES
COVID-19 has created unique challenges for different
segments of the population and struck at the very heart
of the machinery designed to protect people from such
calamities. The case in point is of social sector- the
NGOs and volunteers who are working at the ground
level, often even without the basic facilities. Here are
some practical issues being faced by them:

• Main challenge was to reach the neediest people.... to

find out who need it the most, as it was all locked down,
travelling, doing survey was not possible. So as to reach
the right people was all a challenge.
• Social workers work unarmed in the line of fire: Health
workers in India aren’t fully equipped to deal with
calamities such as COVID-19.
• Coronavirus has triggered a funding crisis for NGOs
when they are needed most.
• The economic downturn means future aid budgets and
donations are likely to decline.

CONCLUSION
In recent years, a number of social forces have changed
community life and the expectation for young people. In
India main problem is poverty People are living below
poverty line Children are deprived of basic education,
they are having health issues, and they are not getting
proper food.
Covid-19 has caused major disruptions the world over.
The ongoing pandemic is already affecting many
aspects of our daily life and will undoubtedly force
rearrangements on our globalized society.
With the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring
Coronavirus as a pandemic, the underprivileged in India
like domestic helps and drivers are at higher risk due to
a lack of knowledge and weak access to health care and
awareness. Keeping the challenge in mind, TPCS has
explained people of Jharkhand what the virus is, how it
spreads and preventive measures. The organization has
decided to share basic hygiene tips with people like
washing hands frequently, avoiding social gatherings
and seeking early medical care if one experiences fever,
cough or difficulty in breathing.
So now Jharkhand government is working to help her
people. Besides that now a days NGO are working for
helping those children. So they need volunteers man
power. Through community development project they
are getting help by us. So we should contribute
something to our community that will not make our
community but also the entire world.
