Abstract
This research aims to highlight the role played by the Non Governmental Organizations in the rural areas in developing the society and the individuals, leading to the development of human capital through the effective interventions in the lives of the rural populations. It has been noted that the interventions of the genuine Non Governmental Organizations in the field of education, health, livelihood projects, economic activities and social skills as well as employment skills lead to human development and development of human resources in the rural areas. The study looks at human resource development in their fundamental aspects of basic human empowerment and enhancement of the quality of life in the rural areas. Such interventions create a platform and environment for the rural population to develop their knowledge, skills and abilities. The research conducted also sheds light on the context in which the Non Governmental Organizations have gained momentum in the last couple of decades. The state’s compulsion to open up its economy and align with the forces and process of globalization and liberalization for its survival in a fast moving world has forced itself to withdraw slowly from investment in the social sector. The apparent reason was to maintain the fiscal discipline. In this process the vast majority of the deprived sections of the society was left behind. In this context as a normal reaction to such deprivation, the NGOs who works for the deprived sections of the society assumed significance and came to prominence by reaching out to the marginalized and left out sections of people and created a paradigm for development. This research makes an enquiry into the effectiveness of such interventions and reaching out of the NGOs to the rural population.
