How the NGOs can overcome this challenge...?
Ur comments please:
Here are some comments in the social networking site Facebook by some experts.
1. Achyut Das (Director-Agragamee): Thanks, Nutan for raising this issue.Please also add the new opening in CSR channels created by the Corporates. The fear is that the spirit of volunteerism will die sooner or later!
2. Satya Kumbhar (Aide et Action-South Asia): Professionals of NGOs sector always out of save zone so they always try to jump inside the save zone and the reality is except some C.F.no any chief functionary think about the personal problem and growth of their staffs.
3. Satya Kumbhar (Aide et Action-South Asia): Sorry Safe-zone
4. Jyoti Prakash Mohapatra (Journalist): It’s as simple...Pay more and u ll get gud professionals...
5.Chelapila santakar(Journalist & child rights activist):Here in these organisations of the govt.sector they are the volunteers with high academic qualifications who jump .Without the designated degrees these organisations or programmes wont take people.Hence the best way for the NGOs is to take people with basic education independent of academic certificates and make them ready for the community work under the available financial packages could b one of the solutions for managing resources by the NGOs.
6. Koti Acharya: Pehele lok sabha badme rajya sabha ab bidhan sabha ke adhin ea socalled sarkar NGO ka matlab pesa bananeki @ samajhtehe. GO/NGO ka ea andruni takrarhe..esme kisika bhalai najar nehiati..easab U/c ki chakarhe.
seva ki darmiyan pesa ek nimitmatra he nahiki adarsh or sangharsh.
7. Achyut Das (Director-Agragamee): After corporatisation of NGOs/CSOs, there is a market for Social Work Professionals and often from many run-of the mill institutions. Recently I had an interview with a few applicants from some of the well-known institutions. I am sorry to say that the quality has been the lowest of the low and it seems these institutes are making huge amount of money! Moreover, these professionals do not have a human face and no ethics and loyalty to the organisation. The alternative is to go for barefoot approach like what Bunker Rpy is doing nationally and internationally. Visit Barefoot College website or listen to TED BUNKER in Google Search. There is nothing which can be done by these professional social workers and can not be done by simple and ordinary rural youths! One has to try. The funding agencies have to accept it sonner or later!
8. Chelapila santakar (Journalist & child rights activist): Leaving aside the so called Professional social workers who are bound by some frameworks, yardsticks and so on, efforts need to be done to work with the ordinary local/rural youth making them extraordinary. They could be be the forerunners in the unknown path that was yet to be discovered even by the names that tastes sweet when uttered . To do this the leaders have to have enough patience admitting that the New ones have new possibilities and even might denounce the so called rich experiences of years that the leaders may be proud of .
9. Achyut Das (Director-Agragamee): Thanks, Santakar for posting good comments. There is nothing to denounce but to learn from the age and wisdom. 30 years back when I came to kashipur, I did have a look at the rich experience of the Sarvodayees and Christian Missionaries in undivided Koraput Dist. I did not agree with their chairity-oriented approach but I did not denounce them. They have been right in the time and situation they were in. Present generation of youths may have to assess their commitment to the social action they want to take up. Hope they will not be conformists like many of us!
10. Chelapila santakar (Journalist & child rights activist): They may denounce or take the experience as only a reference. What I intend to say is that we should not be surprised if they denounce . Very often it is very difficult to de- learn the wrong thing learnt in the past as a p[art of our life as the egoof learning over the years and acquiring it as that of the self gets attached to it . However unless we are prepared to honour the spirit of the present while accepting our all experiences as only reference and not an absolute , things would take more time to move ahead . No one has any doubt over the exemplary work that Achyut Das bhai did for the people of this part of the lesser known world and hence we still regard him as one of the milestone in the field of social work . But the New could also be different even from his thoughts , experience , achievement and foresight , leave alone that of us or anyone else . My stand is that we should give the respect for the change that was innevitable and facilitate it to happen at the grassroots as it comes just standing with our experience like an umbrella .
