EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a citizen-based association that operates
independently of government, usually to deliver resources or serves some social or
political purpose.
As of 2003, there were reportedly over 20,000 NGOs active in Iran. The majority of
these organizations are charity organizations, and thus would not fall under the
category of development-oriented NGOs. In this document, the term NGO is
primarily used for organizations other than charitable organizations.
Page 12 of 47
ROLE OF NGO
NGO’S have been taking a number of steps to promote discussion and debate
about environmental issues, outside the board spheres of popular media and
the educational system
NGOs can sensitize policymakers about the local needs and priorities.
They can often intimate the policymakers about the interests of both the poor
and the ecosystem as a whole

FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS
And
CONCLUSIONS
Page 43 of 47
FINDINGS
Staff strength and capabilities need to be enhanced for future prospects for the
children to be effective.
There is no proper monitoring of the academic performance of the children
residing there.
Improvement of knowledge-based courses is required.
SUGGESTIONS
To arrange some experienced staff so that children can get the required
knowledge.
Additional coaching can be given to children if the increase in a number of
volunteers.
Individual counseling should be done so that children can express their needs
and necessary steps can be taken to resolve the problems.
They can approach institutions and make themselves aware and encourage
them to take part in their organization's events and charities.
CONCLUSIONS
From the above study, we can say that vidyaranya trust is doing a good job
towards the future of the disabled children.
Page 44 of 47
We can also conclude that the organization requires more awareness and
services regarding education in respect to the future of the children should be
taken as a major function so that the number of children not continuing with
the NGO (SHASTRI SCHOOL) will be reduced.
Surveys should be done so that trust cab can be understood the problem and
get a number of volunteers for their support.
