 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This brief overview highlights some of the obstacles faced by the deaf and dumb in their day to
day life and how this ngo is helping them overcome it. This project was undertaken at ‘Pragya
Karn Badhir Shala’ is a school working for the betterment and education of deaf and dumb
children, established and runned by ‘Shravan Mukh Viklang Abhibhavak Sangh’. This ngo
was established in the year 1992 in Raipur.The school where we were working is at Pandit
Madhavrao Sapre School, Budhapara Raipur. The objective of this ngo is to provide free
education to deaf and dumb children along with other skill development activities. My objective
was to find the backlogs in their life and to build positivity in them so that they don’t feel
discouraged about their disability and use it as their strength. Working with the ngo I found that
this ngo is giving its 100% to help these children in every possible aspect it can. No doubt there
are few loopholes as well regarding the education but they are making efforts to improve that as
well. My project is about building positive aspect towards the life of disabled children. It is very
important that these children be treated equally without any discrimination. A positive
perspective towards these children as well as generating positivity in their mind is very essential.

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

11
 INTRODUCTION

Disability refers to the disadvantage or restriction of activity caused by the way society is
organized which takes little or no account of people who have physical, sensory or mental
impairments. As a result such people are excluded and prevented from participating fully on
equal terms in mainstream society. Disability is an unfortunate part of human life which can
effect not only the natural way of living but also despair component strength and power. Persons
with disability are most disadvantaged section of society; they are also neglected in their family.
As per an estimate ten percent of the world’s population suffers from one or other disabilities and
almost one fifth of the disabled person of the world lives in India. According to Census 2001,
nearly 5% of people in India are affected with impairment or disability.

In general connotation disability is of two kinds, Legal Disability and Physical Disability.

1. Legal Disability-
Legal disability can be defined as the absence of legal capacity to do certain acts or enjoy certain
legal rights. It is divided into two classes-

1. Absolute, it wholly disables the person, like outlawry, excommunication, attainder and acts by
statutory bodies or corporation in excess of their statutory powers;

2. Partial as infancy, lunacy, drunkenness etc.

2. Physical Disability-

The condition of a person who has had a legal right privilege revoked as a result of a criminal
conviction.

Physical Disability is of different kinds like Blindness, Leprosy cured persons, Hearing
Impairment, Mental Illness and Mental Retardation, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Learning
Disabilities (Dyslexia), Writing Disabilities (Dysgraphia) etc.
Persons with Disability mean a person suffering from not less than forty percent of any disability
as certified by a medical authority

 Building positive persepective

Public attitudes have an impact on the material and non-material aspects of everyone’s living
standards, and disabled people in particular. At Scope, we believe that we won’t see structural
changes that improve disabled people’s living standards without tackling attitudinal change at the
same time. A disabled child is similar to a normal child, it is the attitude of the people that
corners them from others. Getting equal treatment is everyone’s right, therefore these children
should be treated equally. The basic thing that can improve the life of an individual is his/her
education. To build a positive perspective towards the disabled children we should motivate
them to study. It will bring positivity not only in their life but also will change the mindset of the
people who treat these children differently. It will help them build confidence to face the world.
Ngo’s are doing a great work at changing the mindset of people and telling them that these kids
are no less than the other kids. We just need to tell the kids what they are capable of doing and
helping them in doing that, by doing so we can change their negative and discouraged attitudes
to positive and encouraged one. The positivity will come only if instead of telling them that they
can’t we will tell them that they can. The society needs to change its behaviour towards these
children, if they can’t motivate them they should also not discourage them.

WHAT IS AN NGO?

Non-governmental organization (NGO) is a term that has become widely accepted for referring
to a legally constituted, non-business organization created by natural or legal persons with no
participation or representation of any government. 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. Its purpose is to serve people.

Even though the term "non-governmental organization" implies independence from

governments, most NGOs depend heavily on governments for their funding NGOs are difficult
to define and classify, and the term 'NGO' is not used consistently. As a result, there are many
different classifications in use. The most common use a framework that includes orientation and
level of operation. An NGO's orientation refers to the type of activities it takes on. These
activities might include human rights, environmental, or development work. An NGO's level of
operation indicates the scale at which an organization works, such as local, international or
national. Nongovernmental organizations are essential to humanitarian relief in bringing years of
experience in public health and preventive medicine programming to a crisis zone. A non-
governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted organization created by natural or legal
persons that operates independently from any form of government. The term originated from the
United Nations (UN), and is normally used to refer to organizations that are not a part of the
government and are not conventional for-profit business. In the cases in which NGOs are funded

14
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 wider social aims that have political aspects, but are not openly
political organizations such as political parties.

Origin of Non-Governmental Organization

Beginning of NGO’s starts in 1775 to 1918. It includes various national issues and war sufferer
issues. In late 1960s-1970s entire growth of NGO’s had started. The main reason of developing
NGO’s is economic recession, end of cold war, privatization, growing demands etc. Non-
Government Organizations (NGO’s) and Voluntary action have been part of the historical
legacy. In early 20th century, several voluntary efforts were started in the fields of education,
health etc. The NGO’s became prominent after independence, especially after 1970s.

Development practitioners, government officials and foreign donors consider that Non-
Governmental organizations by the virtue of being small-scale, flexible, innovative and
participatory are more successful in reaching the poor and in poverty alleviating. This
consideration has resulted in the rapid growth of NGO’s involved in initiating and implementing
rural development program.

According to the estimates of the working groups of NGO’s, there are about 30,000 NGO’s in
India. A rapid growth took place in the 1980s and the early 1990s. With the SHG linkages
program introduced in 1989, the NGO sector has been recognized as a crucial partner,
recognizing the strengths of the NGO’s in organizing the community and the potential in saving
and credit programs (both under the linkage program and other credit delivery innovations.

The concept of NGO’s and Social welfare are not new. India has a glorious tradition of
Voluntary organizations. In the pre-Independence days, Rabindranath Tagore in his
Shantiniketan experiments showed how rural development could be brought about by integration
of education and culture. Gandhi in his Wardha experiment showed how village industries could
bring about the development of the poorest sections of the people in this country. (Malik-1995)

After independence too, there was a lot of talk about the role of NGO’s and people’s
participation when we started our planning process in the early 50s. The British Government in
India spent minimum resources on social welfare programs and so voluntary agencies played an
important role in developing programs for the poor, the destitute, women and children.

International non-governmental organizations have a history dating back to at least 1839. It has
been estimated that by 1914, there were 1083 NGO’s. However, the phrase "non-governmental

15
organization" only came into popular use with the establishment of the United Nations
Organization in 1945 with provisions in Article 71 of Chapter 10 of the United Nations Charter
for a consultative role for organizations which are neither governments nor member states—see
Consultative Status. Globalization during the 20th century gave rise to the importance of NGO’s.
Many problems could not be solved within a nation. International treaties and international
organizations such as the World Trade Organization were centered mainly on the interests of
capitalist enterprises. In an attempt to counterbalance this trend, NGO’s have developed to
emphasize humanitarian issues, developmental aid and sustainable development.

16
Types of NGO:

NGO can be classified on two bases:

A. On the basis of orientation.

B. On the basis of level of cooperation

NGO type by orientation:-

Charitable orientation.
Service orientation.
Participatory.
Empowering orientation.

NGO type by level of co-operation:-

Community- Based Organization.

City Wide Organization.
National NGO’s.
International NGO’s.

17

It works in four tiers:

1. First tier - Primary tier whose function is funding. It is main source of funding. It includes
government bodies, international agencies or individuals etc.

2. Second tier – Main function of this tier is to distribute the funds provided by first tier.

3. Third tier – This tier includes NGO’s. Its function is to link with fund applicant.

. 4. Fourth tier – This tier represents the recipient of funds provided by NGO’s.

Legal status:

The legal form of NGO’s is diverse and depends upon home-grown variations in each country's
laws and practices. However, four main family groups of NGO’s can be found worldwide:

Unincorporated and voluntary association

Trusts, charities and foundations
Companies not just for profit
Entities formed or registered under special NGO or non-profit laws.

The Council of Europe in Strasbourg drafted the European Convention on the Recognition of
the Legal Personality of International Non-Governmental Organizations in 1986, which sets a
common legal basis for the existence and work of NGO’s in Europe. Article 11 of the European
Convention on Human Rights protects the right to freedom of association, which is also a
fundamental norm for NGO’s.

19
