REVIEW OF LITERATURE: ROLE OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN EDUCATION IN INDIA

    Ann Mary George*, Dr Mahesh. E

Abstract

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in education have the potential to revolutionize the realm of education services, as demonstrated in India. They not only fulfill some of the responsibilities stated in Sarva Siksha Abhiyan but also target the strata that have either not benefitted or are deprived. By inducing accessibility, inclusion, and empowerment through advocacy, infrastructure, human capital development, and primary teaching services, NGOs are making a significant difference. In a developing country like India, the contribution of the NGO sector has been monumental, particularly in terms of human capital development and primary teaching services. These organizations are also at the forefront of pushing innovative models that can be scaled with the government's help. Their significant advantages are their adaptability and models that facilitate a shift from rote learning to critical thinking. The present article aims to study and review the role of NGOs in education in India by focusing on the transformative models and programs along with their limitations.
