I want to thank South Zone Board of Continuing Education (OZONE) for selecting me for presenting me the Award for Kalam Quality of Life Improvement Award. I want to take this occasion to thank all the people I worked with through the years. I want them to see this award as their award also. Voluntary organizations are based on the spirit of volunteerism, are autonomous and nonprofit organizations established to address various issues and problems in the society and play an important role in the development process as it promotes need based, area specific, innovative, integrated, environmental friendly and people friendly interventions. They have the capacity and capability to feel the pulse of the masses as they work at the grassroots level and are aware of the ground realities of the social problems. They work directly with the people. NGOs focus is on self sustained development. The NGOs work four decades back was voluntary and as of now Governments impose several conditions and regulations for NGOs to continue their development works. NGO functionaries need to be very attentive and comply with all the emerging system of the Governments”. -
