Executive Summary
The topic selected for the Social project work is “Educating under Privileged Children”
India has made rapid progress in the socio-economic sphere in the last seven decades.
Millions have been brought out of poverty, life expectancy has shot up, literacy rate has
almost tripled and people have better access to healthcare services. However, given the
vastness of India, both in terms of demography and area, and its socio-cultural diversity,
millions are still bereft of a decent life.
Even today, numerous people struggle to get basics such as health, shelter, education and
nutritious food. The benefits of India’s economic progress have not been uniform in nature.
There is rampant economic inequality. This is where NGOs come into the picture. Their job
is to plug the gaps left by the government by improving the lives of the most marginalized
communities.
In India, NGOs undertake a variety of activities, most of which are aimed at improving the
socio-economic status of communities with limited means. From providing direct benefit like
distributing nutrition feed to malnourished children to enabling and empowering people like
making a community realize the importance of sending their children to school, the work of
NGOs has a far-reaching impact in helping underprivileged and deprived people march ahead
in life.
The objective of project is to work as a volunteer for NGOs. Volunteering serves to provide
volunteers various different emotions. To some it can give peace of mind that they have given
back to the society. To others it can provide a sort of high, because volunteering gives their
confidence level a boost, improves their communication skills.
Any person who sets out to volunteer has a different goal. It is said that volunteers are not
paid in money but in smiles and blessings. You can volunteer for your own reasons, which
can be any from the below or even more:

INTRODUCTION
Education plays a vital role in economic growth of any economy. With increasing
urbanization, urban migration has led to serious problems to increase in urban slums. These
urban poor usually consist of semi-skilled or unskilled labor. The poor condition of these
urban poor in slum areas is mainly due to their inability to compete with skilled labor class
and afford a decent standard of living.
NGO’s are trying to improve the socio-economic conditions of slums in India. The
educational level of slum residents of India is very low and there is urgent need to improve
the educational attainment level of urban poor for better economic growth. Various schemes
have been introduced by government in these in regard. However, only few only few of them
have been successful.
Education is a critical input in human resource development and is essential for the country’s
Economic growth. Though the major indicators of socio-economic development are the
growth rate of the economy, birth rate, death rate, infant mortality rate (IMR) and literacy
rate, and all of them are interconnected, the literacy rate has been the major determinant of
the rise or fall in the other indicators. There is enough evidence in India to show that a high
literacy rate, especially in the case of women, correlates with low birth rate, low IMR and
increase in the rate of life expectancy.
The recognition of this fact has created awareness on the need to focus upon literacy and
elementary education programs, not simply as a matter of social justice but more to
foster economic growth, social well-being and social stability. Literacy rate in India has
shown considerable improvement over the past few years but the condition of slum education
is still in its immature phase. Youth participation can help in education of slums especially to
improve their socio-economic conditions.
A significant proportion of urban population growth is occurring in the most unplanned and
deprived areas. These factors combine to push essential services especially education beyond
1
the reach of children and families living in poor urban neighborhoods. However, By no
means do all of the urban poor live in slums and by no means is every inhabitant of a slum
poor. Nevertheless, slums are an expression of, and a practical response to, deprivation and
exclusion.
Despite their many deprivations, slum residents provide at least one essential service to the
very societies from which they are marginalized labor. Some of it is formal and some
undocumented, but almost all is low-paid for example, as factory hands, shop assistants,
street vendors and domestic workers. And hence, if provided with basic elementary
education, this labor can be utilized to improve their socio-economic condition.
Quality of life of the migrants in slums is most adversely affected; living in unhygienic and
congested places devoid of basic necessities for a healthy life like housing, water supply,
drainage and sanitation, slums are also the breeding ground for crime, pollution and health
hazards. Women and children are the worst victims. Physically, mentally and emotionally
they are affected. The rapid growth of slums and squatter settlements has largely contributed
to the social, economic and environmental problems in urban areas. The rehabilitation
programme of slum clearance board is totally inadequate in relation to the mushroom growth
of slums.
Socio-economic conditions of slum dwellers indicated that a majority of slum dwellers were
migrants from different places, and were of unskilled with low occupational status and low
incomes. Therefore the policy makers should recognize that just providing a house and even
a better environment to live cannot solve the problem of growth of slums which has its roots
in the very demand for low valued informal occupations.

ROLE OF NGOS IN CHILD EDUCATION
NGOs have been spearheading the movement to provide quality education to the most
marginalized and deprived children of India. With programs in the most remote and
marginalized areas of India, the NGO ensures that the benefits of the Right to Education Act
reach the most deprived children. The idea is to ensure that all children, irrespective of their
origin, are able to go to school, play, interact and learn with other children of their age so that
they secure for them a of dignity and contribute to betterment of economy.
Most important aspect to boost the spread of education is to spread awareness amongst the
parents and the communities and every child needs education. The message needs to spread
far and wide and getting quality education is the legitimate right of all children, no matter
which social or economic background they come from. NGOs connects with the most
backward communities, where there are several instances of children squandering their
childhood in fields and factories or dropping out of school, and counsels parents and elders
on the importance of sending children to school.
Another important aspect to improve the penetration of quality education among the most
deprived children is to make learning a fun experience. Child education NGOs train teachers
and volunteers to impart learning using child-friendly and interactive teaching-learning
methods. The NGO sets libraries and infrastructure right, conducts computer and English
classes, promotes and facilitates extra-curricular activities and sports.
The NGOs engage heavily with the local communities to form Children Groups (CGs) and
School Management Committees (SMCs) and work with them to ensure that they take
accountability of the development of the children in their community. Massive enrolment
drives are conducted in which out-of-school and vulnerable children are mapped and enrolled
into formal schools in age-appropriate classes.
Group learning has proved to be one learning methodology which helps children learn better
and fast and also promotes healthy competition. In classrooms, NGOs encourages and helps
children to undertake learning activities in groups.
Metros such as Kolkata and Delhi are home to a large number of urban poor who live in slum
or slum-like areas. Children in these communities are often involved in child labor and have
very little or no access to education. NGOs runs learning centers for street children and child
laborers coming from socially-excluded communities where they are provided learning and
after-school support. The idea is to groom these children and help them take the leap to
formal schooling.

AN OVERVIEW (NGO)
8
Types of NGO’s
There are numerous possibilities to classify NGOs. The following is the typology the World
Bank uses.
Operational NGO’s
Their primary purpose is the design and implementation of development-related projects. One
categorization that is frequently used is the division into relief-oriented or development-
oriented organizations; they can also be classified according to whether they stress service
delivery or participation; or whether they are religious and secular; and whether they are
more public or private-oriented. Operational NGOs can be community-based, national or
international.
Advocacy NGO’s
Their primary purpose is to defend or promote a specific cause. As opposed to operational
project management, these organizations typically try to raise awareness, acceptance and
knowledge by lobbying, press work and activist events.
Purposes
NGOs exist for a variety of purposes, usually to further the political or social goals of their
members. Examples include improving the state of the natural environment, encouraging the
observance of human rights, improving the welfare of the disadvantage or representing a
corporate agenda. However, there are a huge number of such organizations and their goals
cover a broad range of political and philosophical positions. This can also easily be applied to
private schools and athletic organizations.
9
Methods
NGOs vary in their methods. Some act primarily as lobbyists, while others conduct programs
and activities primarily. For instance, such an NGO as Oxfam, concerned with poverty
alleviation, might provide needy people with the equipment and skills they need to find food
and clean drinking water.
Networking
Consulting
Many international NGOs have a consultative status with United Nations agencies relevant to
their area of work. As an example, the Third World Network has a consultative status with
the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the UN Economic and
Social Council (ECOSOC). In 1946, only 41 NGOs had consultative status with the
ECOSOC, but this number had risen to 2,350 in 2003.
Two management trends are particularly relevant to NGOs: diversity management and
participatory management. Diversity management deals with different cultures in an
organization. Intercultural problems are prevalent in Northern NGOs that are engaged in
developmental activities in the South. Personnel coming from a rich country are faced with a
completely different approach of doing things in the target country. A participatory
management style is said to be typical of NGOs. It is intricately tied to the concept of a
learning organization: all people within the organization are perceived as sources for
knowledge and skills. To develop the organization, individuals have to be able to contribute
in the decision making process and they need to learn.
10
Relations
The relationship among businesses, governments, and NGOs can be quite complex and
sometimes antagonistic. Some advocacy NGOs view opposition to the interests of Western
governments and large corporations as central to their purpose. But NGOs, governments, and
companies sometimes form cooperative, conciliatory partnerships as well.
Staffing
Not all people working for non-governmental organizations are volunteers. Paid
staff members typically receive lower pay than in the commercial private sector. Employees
are highly committed to the aims and principles of the organization. The reasons why people
volunteer are usually not purely altruistic, but self-serving: They expect to gain skills,
experience and contacts.
Funding
Large NGOs may have annual budgets in the millions of dollars. For instance, the budget of
the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) was over $540million dollars in 1999.
Human Rights Watch spent and received US$21, 7 million in2003. Funding such large
budgets demands significant fundraising efforts on the part of most NGOs. Major sources of
NGO funding include membership dues, the sale of goods and services, grants from
international institutions or national governments, and private donations. Several EU-grants
provide funds accessible to NGOs. Even though the term 'non-governmental organization'
implies independence of governments, some NGOs depend heavily on governments for their
funding.
11
Legal status
The legal form of NGOs is diverse and depends upon homegrown variations in each country's
laws and practices. However, four main family groups of NGOs can be found worldwide:
NGOs are not subjects of international law, as states are. An exception is the International
Committee of the Red Cross, which is subject to certain specific matters, mainly relating to
the Geneva Convention.
12
NGO in India
A non-governmental organization (NGO) and (Voluntary Organization) VOs is a legally
constituted organization created by natural or legal persons that operates independently from
any government. The term is usually used by government to refer to entities that have no
government status. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by
governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status by excluding government
representatives from membership in the organization. The term is usually applied only to
organizations that pursue some wider social aim that has political aspects, but that are not
overtly political organizations such as political parties. Unlike the term "intergovernmental
organization", the term "non-governmental organization" has no generally agreed legal
definition. In many jurisdictions, these types of organization are called "civil society
organizations" or referred to by other names.
Indian Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can be set up under various Indian laws, and
the different legal entities under which civil society organizations can register themselves are:
Registered Societies
Societies registration Act, 1860 is a central act for registering not-for-profit organizations.
Almost all the states in India have adopted (with modifications, if any) the central Act for
creating state level authorities for registering various types of not-for-profit entities.
According to the act any seven persons who subscribe to the Memorandum of Association
(MOA) can register a society. The memorandum should include names of the society, its
objectives, its names, addresses and occupations of the members subscribing to it as well as
the first governing body to be constituted on registration.
Public Trust
Public trust can be created for public charitable purposes. There is no All India Level Act for
setting up public charitable trusts. Some of the states in India has enacted the Public
Charitable Trust Act, while most states in India does not have a trust act. An NGO can be
created only under a public trust act.
Private Trust
A private trust , created under and governed by the Indian Trusts Act of 1882, aims at
managing assigned trust properties for private or religious purpose. A private trust does
In recent years, especially in developed countries, various systems have been created to
advance the management and organization of participation for various governmental projects
by NGOs.
13
This is system invites all Voluntary Organizations (VOs)/ Non-Governmental Organizations
(NGOs) to Sign Up on this system, which has been developed in consultation with the below
mentioned Ministries/Departments/Government Bodies to facilitate VOs / NGOs during their
interaction with the Government in connection with requests for Government Grants under
various schemes of the below mentioned Ministries/ Departments/ Government Bodies, in the
first phase.
All VOs / NGOs, are requested to Sign Up (one time) with the Portal to help create a data
base of existing VOs / NGOs and to access information on various schemes of the
participating Ministries/ Departments/ Government Bodies open for grants. Later you will
also be able to apply online for government grants to the participating
Ministries/Departments/Government Bodies and track the status of your applications through
this system.
Nowadays, in every field computer science has brought so many software for to maintenance
and database and keeps the records of daily basis work. But my personal point of view to
make this project is build-up software for Ministries/Departments/Governments bodies that
can upload various schemes related to different subjects. For which VOs/NGOs can just
register themselves into this website and benefit from it just online not anywhere to go for
apply of various schemes to direct ministry or regular visiting the sites. My main prime and
aim behind this project is let them all VOs/NGOs know the online platform to work directly
and check the status for various schemes and grants applied for.

NGO PROFILE
GOALS
We at Children of the World (India) Trust (CWB) dream of a Humane Society where every
child, women and men live with dignity and self-respect, where every child grows in an
environment that is conducive to healthy emotional and physical growth, where every child

INCORPORATION
Children of the World (India) Trust is a registered charitable organisation which has been
actively working for the benefit of children and their families since its inception on
8th October 1982.
15
MISSION
One of the strongest beliefs of our organisation is that a child is a potential resource, not a
social liability. Each child, therefore, deserves equal opportunities and cannot be deprived of
his or her rights. This very ideology has given birth to all our projects.
Find suitable families for destitute and abandoned children through adoption.
Ensure that the natives also stand to gain from the development of Navi Mumbai
This well-planned child care centre at Nerul, Navi Mumbai which houses 50 destitute
children. The guiding principle here is that besides meeting a child’s basic requirements, it is
imperative to create an environment that is conducive to growth and development.
Children are at a crucial age where development inputs cannot be delayed till they find an
adoptive family. Hence, the children are provided with ample open space, playrooms and
specialized services at different stages to help them develop well-rounded personalities. They
are exposed to a broader view of life through a range of extra-curricular activities and
entertainment program over and above the educational inputs, in house or through schools.
Children are accommodated in units suitable for their motor, language and social
development. Each unit has full time nurses supported by a visiting doctor and child
development workers who work with children to guarantee their physical and mental well-
being.

simple terms explained them about importance of water specially drinking water and also
took discussion on to global warming and its affects on earth.
24
Donated Clothes Distribution
Children’s are very poor and live in slums some with single parent or no parent they don’t
have proper clothes to wear and Children of the World organisation gets many voluntary
donators of old and unused clothes to these children’s which are collected and then divided
between different areas which is then distributed to these under privileged children we
fortunately had an opportunity to collect these donated clothes and distribute it among such
needy children’s of our school where we were teaching and doing our project related social
work.
Other activities
Activities such as Test on subjects of English, Maths and science which we taught were
conducted timely, visiting places and touring children’s to parks and playing areas, medical

all age group of the school.
There has been a lot of appreciation and cooperation from villagers and local slums.
With their support and beliefs these children’s could get proper education and
guidance.
The program was implemented for three category children’s of age less than 8years
between 8-12 years and 12 years and above.
The root cause of malnutrition is lack of skills of parents of children’s and no job or
income opportunities to take care of nutrition of children’s one time meal was
supported by the organization everyday.
The efforts of volunteers on this project was appreciated and noticed by the donators
from Norway who provided additional funds and sponsorship programs for these
children’s.
26
As per this survey questionnaire carried on children’s feedback on social service the
demography Responded to the survey is more of female respondents than male as 55% to
44% Respectively.

work with 35% rating at 4 which combined makes it more than 85% respondents considers
performance as 4 or more than 4 and with almost zero votes under 3 ratings which turns out
to be considerably good performance.
By looking at this pie chart we can find out that educational session and other activities for
personality development of under privileged children’s worked out well and they are 95%
agreed for such sessions to be regular in the organization which shows how much positively
