Role of Voluntary Organizations in Indian Democracy: Enhancing Social Justice

Abstract

The government of India has taken measures to implement various tribal development plans, involving voluntary organization. The study is about how to enhance the reach of government schemes and fill the gaps in service-deficient tribal areas in education, health, drinking water, agro-horticultural productivity, social security, etc., sectors and to provide an environment for socioeconomic upliftment and overall development of the Scheduled Tribes (STs). Any other innovative activity having a direct impact on their socio-economic development or livelihood evaluates the development of ST students as a result of help rendered by the voluntary organization in residential schools and finds out the better-performing organization in the residential schools of five states.
