Support of Non profit organizations or social service organizations are best source for developing nations

We can categorize organizations into two categories, first are organizations whose main objective is to survive in the present competitive market and gain more benefits to the organization which they have set up. Second are nonprofit organizations whose main goal or objective is to dedicate themselves and to promote end to end social service activities and programs for society.

As many developing nations require the assistance from Non profit organization to succeed in providing support for people who are in need especially of rural areas. The government projects implemented by these developing nations certainly do not reach the intended groups with out the support of the non profit organizations or social service organizations.

India is one such developing nation and well known as democratic country worldwide, but still central and state governments of India fail to address basics issues like education, medical and health assistance, employment opportunities, safeguarding of environment for the people of the nation. In order to tackle these issues with confidence, many non profit organizations in India are being set up and are playing active role in providing assistance to the poorest of the poor with their different social service activites.

CRY, UNICEF are well known NGO world wide and are dedicated to serve the people around the world especially at the times of natural calamities like floods, earth quakes, Tsunami. Other major Voluntary Organization is Red Cross and it has a network of over 700 branches throughout the country, providing relief in times of disasters/emergencies and promotes health & care of the vulnerable people and communities. In global environment arena, WWF (World Wildlife Fund) is a Voluntary organization which works to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.

These Non profit organizations mentioned above have helped people in need and implemented successful NGO projects with their unprecedented social service activities. In India these organizations have set up their head quarters with the moral support of the government and have succeed in promoting end to end social service activities through out India. Apart from major Non profit organizations in India, there are many NGOs in India who have taken initiative of addressing the basic issues and also succeeded in making a mark as non profit organization.
