NGOs are formed for the well-being and development of society but some of them are really creating hurdles in the way of progress. Most of the NGOs are headed by influential, politician, bureaucrats and rich people/elite. These are the people who plunder the wealth and resources in the name of “NGOs” and deprive the deserving people of their rights. There are people who were riding bicycles in the past, but now own luxury vehicles, only by working for and with these NGOs.
What are these NGOs doing? Nothing, except plundering money. The amount which is plundered in the name of women’s welfare, child labour, human trafficking and other social issues, if used properly, could really bring down the rate of these problems. If these NGOs had implemented the programmers according to their agendas, the condition of the poor would have been different. The society might not have been desperate. A higher number of NGOs, besides enjoying the foreign funds, also tap funds from the sources which basically are for the welfare of poor, orphans and widows such as Bait-ul-Mal. The government should take action against these kinds of NGOs and proper law should be made to keep check and balance.
