One wonders as to why a country such as India with Gross Domestic Product growing in excess of 8% per annum is still accorded the status of a developing country? The country has become self sufficient in food production. Its industries are catering to demand generated internationally and the services sector is growing at a mammoth scale. These are all the characteristics of a developed economy. Then why still is India counted amongst the developing nations of the world?
Asia’s largest slum is in India, Dharavi in Mumbai. Slum children live in poverty and miserable hygiene conditions. Slum education is only spoken of as part of election mandate and is forgotten later. And this is only one of the reasons for India’s miserable social status. On the development index of United Nations Development Programme, India is far behind America, China, Japan and most of European nations. These are the nations with which India is in a direct competition to achieve economic superiority.
Social development in the country is not in tandem with the economic development and this is where the role of an India NGO becomes all the more important. It is common knowledge that a non-governmental organisation does not work for profit. It works with the aim of social service and there are a lot of non-governmental organisations in India that work with the aim India social service in mind.
They work for general betterment of the society and in the process either work towards eradication of various social issues or providing the deprived sections and people of society all those facilities and services that they have been deprived of.
A rather amusing aspect that one notices about the India NGO is that it is either concerned with protecting the environment or elevating the status of women in society or removing illiteracy by providing better and universal education opportunities to the kids and the adults.
But the grim reality is that these very issues need urgent attention of the people and various organisations. If the statistical data released by the National Sample Survey Organisation is any indication, then the condition of India’s future is rather miserable. There are at least 8.1 million kids that belong to school going age but are denied primary or secondary education.
These are the kids who mainly stay in rural areas or slums in the urban areas and are unable to go to school and gain knowledge. The reasons for the same are abundant and children NGOs aim at providing equal educational opportunities to all the children under the sun.
Providing quality education for slum children is currently the most important aim of Tarang, the NGO in India that aims to achieve the objective of universal education. The team of dedicated members at Tarang come up with new and innovative ways and means to realize the overall organisational objective and in the process rediscovers themselves and their motto in life.
