Role of Non Governmental Organisations in Telangana State

Non-governmental organization (NGO) is a term that has become widely accepted as referring to a legally constituted, non-governmental organization created by natural or legal persons with no participation or representation of any government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status and excludes government representatives from membership in the organization. Unlike the term intergovernmental organizations, ¿non-governmental organization¿ is a term in general use but is not a legal definition. In many jurisdictions these types of organization are defined as ¿civil society organizations¿ or referred to by other names. Every now and then, they need to self -assess their grass-root interventions to know whether they are relevant in relation to the changing world order. They have to network people¿s organizations and strategically ally them. So that they can protect themselves from being marginalized by external forces. Otherwise, the social infrastructure created in the village level by NGOs out of their hard work for decades may be blown away by the wings of Macro/Power centers.
