A non-governmental organisation is a legally constituted

organisation that operates independently with the sole motto of

helping the society.

It has spread its wings in many sectors like- resource

development, watershed management, self help groups,

financial stability and employment to the local peeps,

governance assistance and human resources.

They can be termed as the ‘Game Changer’ of the Indian field

which has been able to bring out the best of India with leaving

no stone unturned for assistance to the economically

challenged citizens of India.

Corporate jobs dole out a small list of

reality the actual work load is much

cumbersome than a NGO.

profitable as international NGO, but here are few jobs which

does not require much of the Einstein’s lobes.

Adaptability

Responsible one: There is a difference between the

responsibilities once you graduate and enter the

professional world. NGO work teaches you being

responsible.

Organised self:

There needs to be

balance within the

work force and inner

values which NGO

teaches us.

Time Management: In a professional world, if you adhere to these rules, it will land you and your team in chaos. NGO makes you realise the value of time.

PERSONAL GROWTH

It has a profound effect on our personal lives. If you are working for an

NGO means you have dedication and interest in making the world a better

place to live in. No longer have you acted like the dumb driven cattle.

You get to make your own decisions and work upon it.

Moreover, you get to make new bonds within the

organisation and ward off any hostile environment.

PROFESSIONAL FRONT

NGO has been the bridge which has helped people achieving that

satisfaction of work along with help to the nation. While working as an aid

worker, an individual develops a nebulous mix of qualities during his

tenure.

The organisation inculcates the value of team spirit and coordinating with

the work value.

It boosts one’s adaptive skills. Be it harsh conditions like scarcity of basic

needs or a deep desperation for seeing loved ones, you have to maintain

utter professionalism and work under duress.

The hostile conditions engender attributes like self reliance, credence and

fortitude in a NGO worker.

It also tests your waters for the survival skills.

Before starting a NGO, you should have idea about the stages

of a NGO:

Start up

Expansion

Consolidation

Phase out

We have known all about the working of NGO, we can

conclude that choosing NGO as a career path is not as difficult as it seems.

But it is also not a easy place to play on. With true determination and will

power, you can adhere to the values and working of the NGO. Sure, it is

not lucrative as a corporate job but the infinite number of smiles you put on

people is worth working for.
