The future of Relief India Trust in the Humanitarian Sector

Introduction:

The Relief IndiaTrust and many other NGOs in India and abroad are doing an excellent job for the betterment of the society. They have different job roles. Some are working for the environment, some for wildlife and the maximum numbers of the NGOs are working for the humanitarian sectors for the obvious reasons. There are a few NGOs such as Relief IndiaTrust who have multiple interests and have indulged themselves in different NGOs job roles simultaneously. It is possible for the NGOs to manage multiple activities in the social sector because of their good bit of resources, but all the NGOs are not good enough to have ample resources for looking after all the issues at once. The problems and issues in the humanitarian sector are enormous and they are scaling up with time due to ever growing population and the issues are raised simultaneously too.

Why the future focus of NGOs would shift a lot towards the humanitarian sector:

The NGOs are playing a great role and serve as a great assistant to the government as well during different welfare programs and disastrous situations. In India and in other developing economies, the future of NGOs would tilt a lot more towards the humanitarian sector as much as it is today. It is because the humanitarian related issues are viciously scaling up along with population. The Relief IndiaTrust believes that it is important for the NGOs to set their priorities first. It is almost always about the people first who are suffering in miserable condition in our society while facing a number of different issues. The need for looking after the environmental and the wildlife issues comes much later. Unfortunately, the issues that are existing in our society are maximum just controlled, but there is never any significant improvement shown in any of the issues that is relevant to the Indian society. Unfortunately, it is expected that the problems will further shoot up as the population of the country is literally going out of control. Some of the major issues that will shift focus of many NGOs towards the humanitarian sector are as follows:

·         The ever growing poverty

·         Lack of awareness of people regarding different social things

·         Educational issues.

·         Miserable health sector

·         Women empowerment

·         Child labor

·         Religious Issues

·         Provision of clean water and food

·         Agricultural sector issues

Another major reason that the NGOs will be required to shift their focus towards the humanitarian sector is that the donors only show interest in helping the NGOs who have prioritized things and are working for the most deserving sector in the right way. There is no bigger problem than the humanitarian issues relevant in our society today and they seem to grow in intensity the way things are showing up right now. In order for the NGOs to ensure easy funding, they must prioritize their projects and try to look more towards the humanitarian sector rather than anything else.
