Pratha Foundation | Role of NGO in Environment Protection


Human beings are the ecologically dominant species in the whole ecosystem. Although they have the same need for heat, light, water and food that other species have, they alone posses’ attributes that give them dominance over other living species. Thus, human beings compete far more successfully than all other living creatures. Today we come across various non-governmental organizations whose concerns are focused on various areas such as social issues, health issues, and environmental issues. Non-Governmental Organization is a broad term, which includes charity organizations, advisory committees and various other professional organizations. NGOs in India are spread across the country and they have close contacts with communities. A Non-Governmental Organization is a social service organization working towards a better society. True to its name, ‘ perseveres to bring in a positive change by uniting people who share the common vision of a developed India, and pay back to the society which helped us. All big missions have humble beginnings and so is ‘is endeavor. NGOs perform a variety of service and humanitarian functions, bring citizens concerns to the government, advocate and monitor policies and encourage political participation through provisions of information. 
There are large number of NGOs in India and other countries that are exclusively working for environmental, protection, conservation, and awareness. The number of these non-governmental organizations which are actively involved in environmental protection in our country is, in fact more than in any of the developing country. Increasingly, the government is viewing NGOs not only as agencies that will help them to implement their programs, but also as partners shaping policy and programs.
There is NGO PrathaFoundation that has been working in the rural & urban slums for the last 2 years and has made in roads into rural & urban development in the state.

  2. After retirement I decided to do join some NGO. So once the people of Pratha Education had come to me for contribution, I immediately requested them to take me up as a volunteer. Now I teach some kids and hope to make some difference in their lives. I request, more & more people to come forward to work with them.

  3. My neighbors are very religious and they make annual donations to help poor people. From past few years they have been donating clothes and other things to Pratha foundation and they told me that this is a very responsible and reliable NGO. I have heard this from many other people as well, so now I have also started making donations to this NGO. I feel so peaceful to know that my donations are going in the right hands.
