Relief India Trust Relationship with the Government of India

Relief India Trust or any other NGO relationships with its government is critically important for the smooth performance of its operational activities. The government is the only body that can provide sophisticated resources to the NGO. A lot of times, the NGOs also depend on the government to provide them with the necessary funds in order to perform the relief work. The Relief India Trust has always given utmost importance to its relationship with the government. It is or this reasoning that they don’t have many difficulties in carrying out their routine social and relief work.

Challenges Posed by Government for the NGOs:

In order to take the state benefits by the NGO, the state government enforces several challenges. The NGOs need to tackle all those challenges intelligently so that its relationship with the government doesn't get restrained and they also get the necessary resources which they were looking for. According to a recent research, the NGOs still have to face a great number of challenges in managing the administrative and operational structure of their NGO. If the challenges are not met appropriately by the NGO, then the working environment of an NGO can become extremely difficult to work in. 

The Relief India Trust also back this research based on their own experiences.

Further, the NGOs with unstable environment, create a negative impact on its stakeholders. It can easily lose its good reputation and the donors might not be interested to donate anything more to such unstable NGOs. One critical challenge that NGOs in India can face is that the government reserves the right to obstruct or also facilitate a certain activity initiated by an NGO. It might be due to some difficult relationships between the government and NGO. The government can also have objections with the activities of an NGO or maybe they are not doing the things the way it should be done. Further, there might also be some political interference which can force the government to obstruct or discontinue its services for a particular NGO. NGOs in any such situation are at the receiving end and their betterment is dependent solely on how the government would treat them.

At times, most of such things are beyond the control of the NGOs. The best NGOs could do is to do their best in their operational activities with full concentration on the motive. Their performance should be such that nobody could question their credibility. Further, the representative of the NGO dealing with the government officials should try to establish very friendly relationship. They should always look to update the government about all their social work progress on a regular basis and take their approval. Moreover, the NGO should also try to play its part in most of the government work that is being done for the benefit of the society. It is all about give and take. You have to give something or support the government if you want the same for yourself in return.

Relief India Trust: Addressing the rehabilitation issues

Amongst its various projects, Relief India Trust is managing a rehabilitation center for physically and mentally challenged children in New Delhi and across the country, providing underprivileged children with free treatment and transportation.
"We have a staff of over 25 professionals that include medical consultants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists and social workers. We offer medical consultations to disabled children and critical treatments like corrective rehabilitative surgeries, orthopaedic and eye surgeries and cochlear implants at various leading hospitals," said RIT's spokesperson.
Six-month old Krishna Chowdhary required an open heart surgery (arterial switch operation) to prevent consistent damage to his heart and the cost of the operation was 2, 50, 000. The family could only manage a little over a lakh. Krishna's father, Arvind Chowdhary, was advised to reach out to Relief India Trust for support.
"Doctors at Relief India Trust wrote to Escorts Heart Institute on our behalf and the response was immediate. Their goodwill and relationship with Escorts saved my child's life," said an emotionally charged Arvind, who has himself volunteered to work with the organisation to help in his own way. Free medicines are also provided for Thalassemia patients at the Kalawati Saran children's hospital in Delhi and blood donation camps are conducted to provide blood to various hospitals. The Government has also extended its support to the organisation by providing it with resources and other related benefits.
Due to a combination of poverty and absence of a rehabilitation tradition, the field of rehabilitation is still underdeveloped in India. As a general rule for developing countries, the WHO estimates that only 1-2 per cent of patients who need rehabilitation actually have access to it. There is an overall lack of emphasis on preventive, promotive and rehabilitative care. This is a bleak scenario and unless the Government and the private and the NGO sectors join hands, little will be achieved.
There are over 1600 voluntary organisations serving people with disabilities in India. They have a variety of missions such as raising awareness, lobbying, networking, research, vocational training and rehabilitation.
This is not an optimum number for an over-populous country like India. Survey has revealed that numerous charitable ideas and plans failed to take off for want of resources and Government support. The State administration could offer incentives and holistic support to emerging and prospective organisations if the deficit is to be covered.

Relief India Trust’s Place in the Society as a Community Based Organization

There are quite many community based organizations within India and the world at large, mainly non-profit operating within the grass root level in the society.  Most of such organizations are subsets of larger and international organizations such as Relief India Trust. The organizations are community based to ensure the effective address of the needs of the poor and less privileged in the society. This is essentially what Relief India Trust has done as a charitable organization to set up grass root branches that help effectively reach the members of the society in need of help.

Relief India Trust on its part, takes part in playing a very crucial role in the society by delivering quality services to the needy, including but not limited to; social welfare; educational improvement; health; community service and personal health improvement.

The trust then uses this information to initiate the best strategy to carry out its operations in the best way possible so as to achieve the main objective of improving the quality of life.

Relief India Trust plays a greater role in ensuring effectiveness in the operations of the community based organizations arranged by them. They help do this in two ways;

Providing monetary support       

In order for the community based organizations to remain relevant in their operations, funding is actually needed. Relief India Trust has been organizing awareness campaigns where willing volunteers come forward to donate the much needed funds in the running of various operations at the grass roots. A people-focused approach is used in organizing the fundraising and building good relationships with the volunteers even after the exercise. By enlightening community members on the role played by the organization, many people are willing to become volunteers and donors.

Non monetary support

Running of various community based organizations demand more than just monetary support. Relief India Trust on its part takes into consideration various ways to enable the organizations carry out their operations. The trust helps the other organizations by ensuring proper and effective management. This involves formation of the board of directors and committees that will help in running the organizations. The committees and board of directors are monitored closely to ensure they are doing the right job tailored towards attaining the set objective.

In order for more people to be reached by the community based organizations, more of such organizations are created by Relief India Trust in line with the special needs of people in particular communities. The unique challenges faced by the people are then dealt with in a professional way thus promoting better quality life for all.
