Lack of coordination between ngos and panchayats: Hindrances rural development works

Even after six decades of state led development efforts and interface with the community, rural India is still characterized by higher concentration of the poor, unemployment, hunger, malnutrition, starvation, illiteracy and gender inequality. One of the important contributing factors for the failure of rural development programmes was the absence of involvement of the people for whom the programmes were meant. The two major rural development agencies i.e. NGOs in the private sector and Panchayats in the government sector are implementing various rural development programmes at the grassroot level for the upliftment of rural poor class.
