The multifarious functions of the government have grown into complexity. It has become handicapped in managing all of them effectively. Moreover, government is unable to look after the people in all aspects of the life. In such a situation, it is expected that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) can play a significant role in governance. Everybody knows that there is lot of corruption in the administration and the prominent leaders of the country have several times accepted it. Government alone cannot meet all the requirements/needs of the people unless and until people participation in the governance is ensured. And NGOs have their own role to play in bridging the gap between the government and the people.
