    Research Paper Impact Factor: 5.646 IJMSRR Peer Reviewed & Indexed Journal E- ISSN - 2349-6746 www.ijmsrr.com ISSN -2349-6738 THE ROLE OF NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Dr. Kanchana Naidu* Dr.Kalpana Naidu* *Asst. Professor,Women’s Chrstian College,Chennai Abstract Sustainable development is a way of using resources without the resources running out for future generations. This development is a multidimensional process and cannot be created by Govt. independently. Other stakeholders are also required to contribute effectively towards enhancing sustainability. The present paper highlights the importance & role of NGOs in promoting sustainable development in India. Introduction Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable Development is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depend. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. It enables to attain a balance between environmental protection and human economic development and between the present and future needs. Sustainable Development implies development of four aspects viz Human, Social, Economic and Environmental. Human Sustainability refers to overall development of human capital by providing proper health, education, skills, knowledge, leadership and access to essential services. Social Sustainability is maintenance of social capital by focusing on investments and services that create the basic framework for society.

In the eye of the rising COVID-19 storm, non-government organizations, big and small, are performing a massive task. The novel coronavirus lockdown has comfortably cooped most of us at house but marginalized communities in the unorganized sector, such as daily laborers, construction workers, street vendors and people involved in the cottage industry are terribly affected by the economic and social reflection of lockdown. NGOs coming forward to support the migrant workers and to fight the pandemic and provided food, water and transportation at their cost. In this paper I briefly analyze the role and contribution of NGOs (first half of 2020) in the lockdown situation of India. In this situation NGOs become unassuming heroes because they help fill in the gaps that governments often neglect and sprung into action to fill in gaps of communication and delivery of essential items to poor underserved communities.

  • UNIT:3 Water Purification, Process by Which Undesired Chemical
    UNIT:3 Water purification, process by which undesired chemical compounds, organic and inorganic materials, and biological contaminants are removed from water. That process also includes distillation (the conversion of a liquid into vapour to condense it back to liquid form) and deionization (ion removal through the extraction of dissolved salts). One major purpose of water purification is to provide clean drinking water. Water purification also meets the needs of medical, pharmacological, chemical, and industrial applications for clean and potable water. The purification procedure reduces the concentration of contaminants such as suspended particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, and fungi. Water purification takes place on scales from the large (e.g., for an entire city) to the small (e.g., for individual households). Water from inlets located in the water supply, such as a lake, is sent to be mixed, coagulated, and flocculated and is then sent to the waterworks for purification by filtering and chemical treatment. After being treated it is pumped into water mains for storage or distribution. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
