EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In every field of education imparted to the student, working on project
plays an immense role in bringing out and exhibiting the qualities
which is helpful in implementing student ‘s knowledge in the practical
life. In spite of the theoretical knowledge gained through classroom
study, a person is incomplete if not exposed to the ground realities of
the business world. He may have to face many professional hurdles
after his graduation; these will be difficult to overcome without any
first-hand experience of business. In this context, 6 weeks of summer
training has been designed to make the person aware of the
happenings of the real business world. A project training is a
temporary endeavour, having a defined beginning and end (usually
constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables),
undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, usually to bring
about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of
projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations), which
are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to
produce products or services. Working with NGOs will get you close
the grassroots of the society. You will know people closely and this
will be reflected on your perception of life. Profit organizations are
driven by greed and government organizations are driven by political
agenda. You may dedicate yourself for a noble cause through NGOs
and you will feel great when you succeed to help people having better
life. This feeling is invaluable. This kind of training and projects can
help the students to use their theoretical knowledge on the practical
aspects of life.

OBJECTIVES OF THE REPORT
To share some information on NGOs.
7
LIMITATIONS
In undertaking this study, a number of problems were faced. Hence,
the study has several limitations. The limitations are:
As a student, in the research field, I have no past practical
experience of data collection, data processing, data analysing,
integrating and presenting. So, it is a limiting factor for obtain
accurate information.
For the time limitation I could not gather more information to
justify exact condition. The time constraints are limiting factors.
To get the actual information have been very difficult
Sufficient records, publications were not available and some
questions were avoided or not exactly answered by the respondents
may be because of lack of clear idea.
Although the NGO members have tried their best to help me, their
nature of job is such that gives them little time to discuss.
As I was the only one person, this report seriously suffered
manpower constraints.
7. Secondary sources of data relating to the NGO are very limited
as sufficient books, publications and journals were not available.
Despite all these limitations, I have given the best of my efforts and
tried to make the report as informative and comprehensive as possible.

INTRODUCTION
The term, "non-governmental organization" or NGO, came into use in
1945 because of the need for the UN to differentiate in its
Charter between participation rights for intergovernmental specialized
agencies and those for international private organizations.
At the UN, virtually all types of private bodies can be recognized as
NGOs. They only have to be independent from government control
not seeking to challenge governments either as a political party or by
a narrow focus on human rights, non-profit-making and non-criminal.
As of 2003, there were reportedly over 20,000 NGOs active in Iran.
The majority of these organizations are charity organizations, and thus
would not fall under the category of development-oriented NGOs. In
this document the term NGO is primarily used for organizations other
than charitable organizations. The structures of NGOs vary
considerably. With the improvement in communications, more
locally- based groups, referred to as grass-roots organizations or
community- based organizations, have become active at the national
or even the global level. Increasingly this occurs through the
formation of coalitions with other NGOs for particular goals, such as
was the case in the case of the Bam earthquake.
For example:
A civil society is composed of three sectors: government, the private
sector and civil society, excluding businesses. NGOs are components
of social movements within a civil society. In the case of Iran, where
civil society is not yet mature, NGOs can have an important role in
strengthening the foundations of an emergent civil society. The issue
of independence is an important one in the credibility of an NGO. It is
hard for NGOs not to come under any governmental influence.
Individual governments do at times try to influence the NGO
community in a particular field, by establishing NGOs that promote
their policies. This has been recognized by quite common use of the
acronym GONGO, to label a government-organized NGO. Also, in
more authoritarian societies, NGOs may find it very difficult to act
9
independently and they may not receive acknowledgment from other
political actors even when they are acting independently. On the other
hand, development and humanitarian relief NGOs need substantial
resources, to run their operational programs, so most of them readily
accept official funds. It is thus important for the NGO to have
transparency in its operations and goals so that its relation.
MEANING
A non-government organization is an association which is based on
the common interests of its members, individuals, or institution has no
governmental status or function, and is not created by a government,
nor is its agenda set or implemented by a government. A non-
governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted
organization created by natural or legal persons that operates
independently from any form of government. The term originated
from the United Nations (UN), and is normally used to refer to
organizations that are not a part of the government and are not
conventional for-profit business.
10
DEFINITION
According to the World Bank, NGOs are “value-based organizations
which depend, in whole or in part, on charitable donations and
voluntary service,” and in which “principles of altruism and
voluntarism remain key defining is not affiliated with government.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are generally considered to
be “non-state, non-profit orientated groups who pursue purposes of
public interest”, excluding the private sector (Schmidt and Take
1997).

NGO.
CITS: It is a type of NGO that basically devoted in helping the
scientific community by motivating the young talent towards R &
D.

NEED FOR NGOs IN INDIA
The need for NGOs continues to increase in India. One of the reasons
for this is that there are still millions of people in this country are
failing to get even their basic needs met. They do not have proper
place to stay or have other resources to run their day to day life with
dignity. There are many government organized programs but not all
of them reach the people as they should so there is an increasing need
for NGOs in India.
To bridge this gap there are many India NGO movements that work to
improve the standard of people's life. Every NGO in India has their
own vision and goal. There are many social welfare programs run by
these NGOs. One of the best goals NGOs in India can have for
themselves is to provide free education in India. This would be the
best social service in India. Sociologists analysing the Indian society
found that one of the main reasons for poverty in India is the poor
literacy rate in some of the Indian societies. Soto alleviate people
from their poverty it is essential to provide quality education to the
poor.
One of the main areas that has been receiving the attention of many of
the Indian NGO movements is the slums of Mumbai. Poverty is
strikingly visible in this part of India. Providing slum education is
taken as one of the main missions of many NGOs in India. One such
NGO is Tarang. This NGO in India offers quality education for slum
children in Mumbai.
People that are below their poverty line do not have enough money or
drive to think about the other things of life such as education of their
children etc. NGO movements such as Tarang try to conscientize
people about the importance of education in their lives. They do not
stop at it, they also offer highly effective educational programs in
Mumbai. Their services are like just a drop in the ocean but it still
makes a lot of difference. At the same time a lot needs to be done and
so we need greater social participation and we need more NGOs that
will take upon themselves education of slum children in India.
12
Moreover, it is not enough that only the NGOs work towards the
upliftment of people, it is very important that every individual starts
working on the improvement of the literacy rate of the country. They
can help the NGOs such as Tarang to do their job better by providing
them with the required financial support. As they already have a set
up contributing to their schemes will help us pool the resources
reaching the needy in a more systematic and effective way.
13
THE INDIAN NGOs SCENARIO
In India, it was the 1970s which saw rapid growth in the formation of
formally registered NGOs and the process continues to this day. Most
NGOs have created their respective thematic, social group and
geographical priorities such as poverty alleviation, community health,
education, housing, human rights, child rights, women’s rights,
natural resource management, water and sanitation; and to these ends
they put to practice a wide range of strategies and approaches.
Primarily, their focus has been on the search for alternatives to
development thinking and practice; achieved through participatory
research, community capacity building and creation of demonstrable
models.
Many NGOs have worked hard to include children with disability in
schools, end caste-based stigma and discrimination, prevent child
labour and promote gender equality resulting in women receiving
equal wages for the same work compared to men. During natural
calamities they have played an active role in relief and rehabilitation
efforts, in particular, providing psycho-social care and support to the
disaster affected children, women and men. NGOs have been
instrumental in the formation and capacity building of farmers and
producers’ cooperatives and women’s self -help groups.
Summing up, it is now well established that NGOs have an important
role to play in the development processes and that both the state and
market need the collaboration of credible, active, and accountable
NGOs. Given their connect with the grassroots realities, NGOs can
and should play the “gamechanger” to pro-poor development through
leadership on participatory research, community empowerment and
search for development alternatives.
14
WHY I CHOSE TO WORK IN A NGO
Well, working at a meaningful and good NGO is an experience that I
would never trade for an internship at any other corporate company.
In my personal opinion working at an NGO has made me introspect
so much and realize so many things, it has really opened my eyes
towards the different corners of society and how most of us choose to
ignore all these different things.
1) When we compare an NGO to a corporate company, we should
probably look at the goal that the organization is striving towards, an
NGO strives to contribute to society and the upliftment of weaker
sections of society, whereas any corporate organization only wants
profit to expand to get more profit to expand further in a perpetual
loop.
2) There is a certain sense of fulfilment and joy that you experience
when you can see the eyes of a kid light up because you helped her
learn something new or gave her good food which is nowhere to be
found in the corporate experience. To add to that, the skills that you
would learn in any corporate position like leadership, communication,
etc. you would learn them working at an NGO too. In addition to this,
you get to meet different people from different walks of life at various
drives/events that a good NGO conducts on regular basis, the sense of
community that one feels when contributing towards a noble goal is
unmatched, there is always a general sense of friendliness present in
an NGO because of the allied purpose.
3) The practice of contributing to your society and community is
highly appreciated everywhere and by everyone. Many Ivy League
colleges do put a weightage on social work which has meaningfully
contributed to the greater good of society. It pays off to have social
work on your CV, it reflects well on your personality and it does place
you a mark above everyone else.
Volunteering helps you build interpersonal skills and accelerates your
personal growth. You tend to become a good listener and a good
speaker. And Your contribution of time and skills helps someone find
15
a new hope for their future. People look forward to meeting you,
hearing your advice and more importantly learning from you. You are
a fresher and seeking employment opportunities, volunteering
experiences will give you an edge over others. definitely makes you
happy and self-content. It feels good to help others.
To educate the present generation, to arm them with the courage and
self - confidence to better themselves and their families, their
communities, and there by helping them to change the lives of their
future generations.
One of the reasons to work in a NGO also included that I live in a
small town and there aren’t any MSME companies here so instead of
joining some corporate company far away I decided to join the NGO
so that I can make my time more useful rather than just travelling and
it also made my internship experience a little easier and a more
merrier.

leadership skills, but also got a chance to employ them too.
Everything depends on how well you learn to motivate people

adapt to different cultural demands and behavioural
expectations. This also impacted my ability to handle sensitive

roles.
29
LINKAGES TO THEORITICAL PARTS
MICRO FINANCE: NGO management is not a typical business
model which has profit as a main objective to sustain itself. In fact it
has something social to do for the people. From the beginning to the
end we found out that even though social, how an NGO can work
professionally and fulfil its objectives by getting the work done from
the people within the budget constraints. Income generation
programme have three broad range of service namely, Training,
Savings and Loans. - We started off by attending the training and
learnt that how to interact with a mix breed of people who have
different professions in a language well understood to them. They
have different mechanism of teaching the poor to do business and be
self-employed.
30
but about achieving more meaningful personal and professional goals.
So colleges play a bigger role in sensitising students about the larger
context of what India is about. Social responsibility cannot be taught
inside a classroom. Learning about an issue and actually meeting
people who have been affected by it are two different things.

MY WORK AND EXPERIENCE AT
SUBMITCORE
42
OVERALL EXPERIENCE
In this summer vacation, I was fortunate enough to complete a 6-week
internship at a charitable NGO in Rajpura, an experience that while
challenging at times, was invaluable in so many ways. I interned with
a positive attitude, good work ethic and a willingness to get involved
wherever I was needed which held me in good stead because not only
did I earn the respect of my colleagues, I was given the opportunity to
get involved, even more than I ever imagined. I had three clear goals:
1. Gain practical NGO based experience to add to my CV 2. Put into
context the theory I am studying during my BBA in Business
Analytics
3. To help as many people I can with my full efforts. I managed to
achieve all three.
When I look back at my internship I realised that whilst having a
structure in place the emphasis was on using my initiative.
Everything wasn’t planned out for me, and my hand wasn’t held at
every turn but this was great because I had to work for it and really
think about my internship. The structure was clear; work in 3
different categories including healthcare, social work and NGO
events. Our supervisor also asked us to give some suggestions for the
future interns at the end of the internship. This helped me to focus on
my progress through the internship on my objectives and the work I
was doing. Importantly, it also meant that the organisation could
consider any suggestions for improvement too. I really felt as if it
mattered to us all.
42
RECOMMENDATIONS
Collaborative work: The continuation of interactive, authentic
partnerships among NGOs, public and private organizations are
required for sustainable impact on development. Today’s trend is
towards improved partnership between NGOs, governments, and
the private sector. This trend obviously helps NGOs develop core
competencies, get advantage of different expertise, and influence
policy actors.
Research: There is need to carryout research as to what extent the
youth development programmes are impacting the community
members, and also to research on what motivates or demotivates
people from accessing programmes offered by the NGO.
Updating the budget template: NGOs must be specifically
requested to make a budget annually so as to cover the proper
office space, staff training, fundraising staff time, communication,
quality computers and tools and etc. The High capacity well-
resourced NGOs can easily plan and result in giving highest impact
over time. And this would also help the NGO to be less reliant for
its survival on a single donor.
Flexibility: Many NGOs works excellently with dedication and
performs high quality work, but have limitations when it comes to
fundraising. An NGO must build flexibility in how to utilize the
funds. It must secure small percentage of budget for sustainability
activities which would ensure long- term viability and which would
impact the NGO and its programs by helping it to expand and
improve. I think MSM can be a little more flexible,
Always ask for Feedback: Since the working of the NGO must be
done without any obstacles, it must always ask for feedback and
suggestions on how to improve its sustainability. The NGO must
discuss about its current practices and take suggestions.
42
CONCLUSION
This report has summed up my engagement with New World
Foundation and my involvement in their youth social programmes. I
have gained insights on social responsibilities, management skills and
how they are applied in practice. I have been engaged in their various
programmes and social events while I was doing my internship as a
volunteer. The programme however is a micro initiative with positive
impacts to help the needy people of our small town I would like to
believe that I also added value to what they have already been doing,
making them conscious of the importance of their programmes and
the need to constantly find ways to improve the intervention strategies
given the continuously changing circumstances and time. I can
sincerely say that my time spent interning with Mission Manav Sewa
resulted in one of the best summers of my life. Not only did I gain
practical skills but I also had the opportunity to meet many fantastic
people also I felt like I was able to contribute to the society and NGO
by assisting and working on projects throughout the summer.
