acceptance speech said, “I am greatly
honored by this award. 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”. -Kris
