  • Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Local Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) are one of the important institutions for local development. They are playing significant role directly and indirectly in the development of local communities since long time back. These organizations work as catalyst for pooling resources both human and natural in a collective manner in order to fulfill local needs of local communities. The process of local development cannot accelerate without giving due attention to the viable local organizations. Rural development concerns basically with improving quality of life of the rural people. This implies the involvement of rural poor in the development process and requires participation of local people in decision-making process and implementation of decisions. The productivity and self-reliance of rural region can only be increased when the mobilization of local energies and use of local resources are made. It requires the organization of local people (United Nations Development Program [UNDP], 1979). In essence, rural development is a strategy designed to improve the economic and social life of the rural poor. It involves the flow of benefits of development to the poorest among those who seek a livelihood in rural areas. The poorest group may include small/peasant farmers, tenants and landless people (World Bank, 1975). In this regard, rural development is basically concerned with improving quality of life of the mass of the subsistence population residing in rural areas and making the process of their development self sustaining and self reliance (Lele, 1975). This goal, however, cannot be achieved without mobilizing the local resources, involving local people in overall development processes and institutionalizing the local people’s organizations.
