1) Literature Review
Introduction
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) or Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) are
not a new to the human civilization. There are various terminologies which are used,
interchangeably, to address NGOs such as Voluntary Organizations, Voluntary
Association, Action Groups, Voluntary Agencies, Civil Society Bodies/ Committees
and so on, but all these nomenclatures carry same meaning of selfless service for the
betterment of the society (Gangrade, 2005). The United Nations refers NGO as “a
non-governmental organization (NGO), often referred as civil society organization
(CSO) is a not-for-profit group, principally independent from government, which is
organized on a local, national or international level to address issues in support of the
public good. Task-oriented and made up of people with a common interest, NGOs
perform a variety of services and humanitarian functions, bring public concerns to
government, monitor policy and programme implementation, and encourage
participation of civil society stakeholders at the community level. Some are organized
around specific issues, such as human rights” (UNROL). The definition highlights
three major components of an NGO i.e. an organised body without any Page | 23
governmental support and interference, service provider pertaining to common
interest of the people, and a complementary establishment for implementation of
government funded schemes and programmes.
Literature Review
R. Sooryamurthy and KD Gangrade (2001) { 1}, through their study NGOs in India:
A Cross Sectional Study, produced another important work which provides a co
mprehensive overview of NGOs in India in which he critically examines their
contributions to development. Focusing on NGOs that work in the areas of rural
development, women, and children, the authors' goal is to shed light on the
contributions of the sector in the spheres of social welfare, empowerment, service,
and rural development. In addition, the problems and difficulties experienced by
NGOs are analyzed and explained. This important new book traces the rise of NGOs
in India and their transformation over the years, revealing the importance of NGOs in
~ 14 ~
India's development after Independence. Beginning with a detailed history of
voluntarism in India and examination of NGOs around the world, the authors provide
the framework for examining NGOs in India as a force contributing to development.
They then focus on partnerships and cooperation between NGOs and the government,
advocacy and policy implications of NGO activity, accountability within
organizations, approaches to problems and delivery of services, NGO life cycles, and
the need for a code of ethics within NGOs. Case studies on NGOs designed to assist
women, children, and rural development are presented and discussed in the context of
development in general and improving the quality of life for all Indian citizens. This
careful and comprehensive examination is a unique addition to a growing field of
literature in India
Snehalatha Chandra (2003) {2} brought an interesting publication which deals with
issues associated with management of Indian NGOs. For all kinds of Non-Profit
Organizations, this book serves as a working and referral guideline, whether they are
involved in charity and welfare work or in the development of communities and in the
work related to social transformation. The book provides an interesting feature as well
as source of knowledge in managing the NGOs in Indian circumstances.
Another important study that was devoted to NGOs was the work of Vikram Patel
and R Thara (2003) {3} which deals with NGO innovations while dealing with mental
health needs of affected persons. This important volume describes the work of
voluntary agencies in the field of mental health with the explicit objectives of
documenting innovative achievements, examining the issue involved, and determining
their success and viability in Indian setting
GB Kashyap and JP Garg (2008) {4} through their publication titled “Role of NGOs”
discuss the issues pertaining to role of NGOs in different development scenario
existing in the country. This volume considers the roots and expansion of NGOs in
rural India, taking care to highlight the endeavours of these agencies in such issues of
rural concern as education, employment, health, social welfare, family planning etc
Another study focusing on NGOs in Bangladesh by Rie Makita (2009) {5} , explores
what role an NGO can play as an intermediary in business development for the poor
with focus on the relations between the NGO and local elites. In theory, as market
demand for a product or service increases, the business attracts more interest from
~ 15 ~
local elites, to whom all the benefits tend to go in the end. However, the two cases
suggest feasible ways for the poor with intermediary to open up a business
opportunity in the elite-controlled rural economy; market differentiation and the use
of a stagnant industry. As a result, new NGO–elite relations emerge. Considering the
limited life of such relations, efforts should be concentrated on enabling the poor to
make the most of the business opportunity in the short term under the new NGO–elite
relations
Patrick Kilby (2010) {6} produced an outstanding work on the very nature of NGOs.
By examining how NGOs operated in Southern India in the early 2000, this book
discusses the challenges faced by small, local NGOs in the uncertain times of
changing aid dynamics. The key findings focus on what empowerment means for
Indian women, and how NGO accountability to these groups is an important part of
the empowerment being realized
Alnoor Ebrahim (2003) {7} focused his study on institutional issues pertaining to
NGOs operating in Western part of India. This paper examines the effects of shifts in
development discourse on the behavior of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs).
Batliwala, Srilatha (2002) {8} with her focus on very nature of NGOs and other
associated factors studied various issues in this regard. The past two decades
witnessed the emergence of a new range of transnational social movements, networks,
and organizations seeking to promote a more just and equitable global order. With this
broadening and deepening of cross-border citizen action, however, troubling
questions have arisen about their rights of representation and accountability-the
internal hierarchies of voice and access within transnational civil society are being
highlighted. The rise of transnational grassroots movements, with strong constituency
base and sophisticated advocacy capability at both local and global levels, is an
important phenomenon in this context. These movements are formed and led by poor
and marginalized groups, and defy the 51 stereotype of grassroots movements being
~ 16 ~
narrowly focused on local issues. They embody both a challenge and an opportunity
for democratizing and strengthening the role of transnational civil society globally.
Simon Combe (1989) {10} also undertook his study on Indian NGOs, especially
indigenous in nature. The study provides a definition of indigenous voluntary
agencies sector as it exists in rural India. He explains in detail each defining
characteristics with a view of differentiating indigenous voluntary agencies from other
formations working for bringing about change in rural India. In other words, the study
is a pioneering work in establishing a relationship between voluntary agencies and
development change in the country

awareness about the organization and to attract more candidates for internship
.
6. Commondove does not unity of command or any proper communication
channel .
7. At Commondove employees received orders from more than one superior
during their internship period which led to confusion, communication gap .
Whereas at YEF a systematic channel of command is been used to establish
authority and accountability relationship
8. YEF provided training to their employees to facilitate their overall growth
Whereas Commondove does not provide any personal trainings
9. At Commondove it was difficult to get information about the organisation as
the superiors were also interns and only limited information was given to
them about the organization.
Plus only limited information was present at official website of the
organization
10. Whereas at YEF it was much easier to collect information about the
organization from superiors as well as from the website.
11. Commondove is helping the other ngos to spread awareness about their motive
and workings among the youth without charging anything , as there are more
than 3 lakh ngos in India but hardly anyone know about them.

Analysis and findings
Lessons Learnt
Working Experience
1. Due to the Global Pandemic , I was not able to work in regular organization
environment but still I learnt ny new things from both the organization and
was able to enhance my skills.
2. I learnt communicating and convincing skills as I have to talk to new people
on daily basis
3. I learn that even in the difficulty conditions organizations are working very
hard to provide their services to the customers
4. As the internship was work from home , I met my superiors and colleagues
virtually only .
5. I worked with the teams on a project in which our manager gives individual
tasks to everyone
6. Few seminars were held by YEF for improving our skills
7. The superiors helped me a lot to explain my work , help me whenever I
needed and teach new techniques to increase my efficiency .
8. Managers regularly asks for updates and we have to update our sheets on daily
basis.
~ 31 ~
Knowledge gained
I have worked under the HR department. As a human resource manager my duty was
to shortlist candidates and take their interviews. I learnt about how to work with
manager and other superiors in a company . For the first time I went through the
selection process for a job at a organization . So every day there was something new
to learn since it was my first experience .Constant communication is very important in
the organization with the superior and colleagues to stay updated about our duties and
responsibility .Time value of money is very important in the organization otherwise it
create unhealthy relations with the superiors
Conclusion
I personally feel that YEF and Commondove is a good company to send students for
future summer training because they offer a greater number of vacancies and the tasks
given were well explained .As I worked directly with the owner and manager , the
faculty is good and helping. Thoroughly understood the difficulties faced by me and
guided me to resolve the issues Sometimes it was difficult to cope up with the team
at Commondove Due to confusion in communicating with different superiors for the
same topic otherwise in all it was a good experience at both the organization .
