VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION

The organisation which actively and voluntary enter into an social work to solve the problems of the normal people without any compulsion or order and with full involvement is called as the voluntary organisation.

VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION AND INDIVIDUALHuman beings are nowhere perfect, but experience has shown that

voluntary workers, especially when they are given: certain incentives, provided with the requisite facilities and are not looked upon with disfavor by officials, can ensure better results in the social and economic arenas.

They have shown initiative as well as enterprise. They have adopted new paths and motivated large sections of the

masses while officials are able to create only temporary fervor and enthusiasm.

In present the individual is not waiting for any guidance or an leadership they are coming forward voluntarily due to involvement, interest, knowledge and technological improvement.

GROWTH OF VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION In the early days the voluntary organisation was not had been known may it had been

resent but it cannot be explained or listed off but during the freedom struggle it was noted well many leaders and people started to talk and also involved in social improvement voluntarily

Most of the national activity in those years was conducted on a voluntary basis We may recall the work done in the rural areas like:

Caste-ridden societiesThe tribal regions and Among women

Established by G.K. Gokhale, Mahadev Ranade, Bal Gangadhar Tilal and Lala Lajpat Rai.

• To facilitate their social transformation, by voluntary organization.• As the involvement of people increases the voluntary organisation also had grown to

a peak in India.

There are many voluntary organisaton across the decades which are actively rendering the service effectively their aim is to join the individual who come forward voluntarily without any compulsion.

Some of the well-known voluntary organizations currently doing valuable public service are:

The Harijan Sevak Sangh The Bharatiya Depressed Classes League The Indian Red Cross Society The Ramakrishna Mission The Servants of India Society and The Social Work Centre

REASON FOR LACK OF GROWTHThe tragedy is that many voluntary organizations except those which

enjoy the patronage of high-ups at the Central or State levels, have been compelled to fold up owing to several adverse circumstances, including intense rivalries and lack of adequate funds and workers.

In each and every stage there was many reason for lack of growth like:Lack of involvement, fear, unwillingnessLack of awareness and lack of informationSelfishness, greedy, technological

improvementThere was also some other reasons like lack of unity, difference in

opinion, lack of proper use of recourse etc,.

GOVERNMENT’S INVOLVEMENTThe Government has called for voluntary action for the community

development and community upliftment. In the areas like: Women's uplift Child welfare Family planning and in health Sanitation Educational Social and economic fields

This alone can involve massive involvement in programmers in fact, such schemes are ineffective unless mass participation and community action are assured

NEGATIVE SIDE OF GOVERNMENT For several decades the Government of India was indifferent to voluntary

organizations. The vital impact of volunteers' work during the country's freedom struggle

was forgotten. Implementation of Government programmes implemented through

officials suffers from various shortcomings and deficiencies like: Bureaucratic attitudes Red tapism Delays, Lack of earnestness and of sincerity among the workers Waste and leakage of funds Corruption

No wonder the overall results are poor despite the heavy expenditure.

ITS FUTUREVoluntary organisation future is in hand of government to

provide fund and individuals in active participationAs next 30 years India will have worlds highest population of

youth will help in leading the voluntary organisation in effective way and also we should consider:

Unless, they are regarded as partners in progress and accorded their due place (just as the role of the private sector in the planned economy is described as vital), they cannot function without let or hindrance. Since the field is now wide open for voluntary organizations, the prospects of expediting national reconstruction are brighter.
