Role Of Ngos In Educating The Masses

by Kanan James NGO INDIA

Education is very necessary for the enhancement of mankind and in order to live in a harmonious ecosystem. Every year thousands of people from children to old people are being driven out from their homes and their fates are left undecided. Even domestic animals receive the backlash of ill-treatment. Thus, in order to help the underprivileged and reduce the extent of such incidents, NGOs play a vital role in establishing civil intents among the masses. Whether it’s senior citizen health care, child protection, protection of women or animal sheltering, NGOs work for the betterment of everything and advocate for the same to the public so that awareness is created. To know how it is done, read on further:

Creating awareness

Awareness is of utmost priority as more the people are aware, the more our collective conscience will work for the betterment for the society. NGOs are trying to spread awareness among parents, children and other communities as much as they can. Keeping in mind of India’s geography and demographics, more and more towns and cities are being covered to make the population better informed.

Working at the grass root level

Almost 70 per cent of the people live in rural areas where the level of education is still not something to be proud of. Millions of children are out of school. Even the retention rates are drastically low with children not continuing their education after the eighth standard. The conditions for the education for girls is also heartbreaking. So all these factors have pushed social work organisations to educate the downtrodden masses so as they could act as intelligent beings of the country. Therefore, educating the people living in the remotest areas is the foremost obligation for all such organisations.

Connecting the rural and the urban

This is the very next big step for the previous point. It’s necessary to connect the urban and rural to maintain the ecological tandem. People living in rural areas are under constant threat of zilch livelihood, so NGOs in India act as catalysts who would ask people from the cities to help people in the suburbs and villages with resources in the form of cash or kind. For this NGOs voraciously speak about specific areas as to what are the problems a particular village is facing, how and what kind of contributions will be helpful for them, what long-term plans will help it to be developed and so on.

Use of Social Media

Social media is the most powerful medium to bring change to the world. NGOs ingeniously use this platform to reach out to a large number of users not just within the country but even internationally. People can look up to respective pages, handles or accounts for various senior citizen homes, orphanages or animal shelters to provide aid and personally visit the places to understand the conditions the inhabitants are facing.

An NGO’s or NPO’s (Non profit organisation) maiden objective is to improve the life of the suffering individuals by giving them a place to live in, access to basic amenities and social security. They educate, influence people to help in their global mission to end poverty and suffering for the living beings and the points above briefly explain how they do it.
