Catalyzing Change: NGOs in India

Author(s) Kumari Parul
Country India
Abstract This study assesses the important political role played by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in India, primarily in relation to their role as actors of democratic change and political empowerment. Traditionally, NGOs have been associated with social and developmental roles, however, they have become an important political force in conclusion terms: as facilitators of participatory governance, policy advocacy, electoral reform, and political empowerment. This paper considers NGOs as catalysts raising political awareness, mobilizing disenfranchised populations, and creating opportunities for public accountability. This paper considers the extent to which NGOs take up the cause of transparency and accountability, engage in electoral monitoring and are involved in lobbying around political decision-making. Using case studies, surveys and secondary data analysis, this research outlines the contribution vanguard by NGOs in the political space while also pointing to the challenges faced by NGOs operating within that space, for instance: opposition from the state, constraints and regulation and legitimacy. In conclusion, the paper draws attention to the changing relationship between civil society and political institutions in India, and the role of NGOs, particularly in terms of creating more democratic and inclusive political processes.
