There are lot of gray areas in functioning and Governance of the Non Government Organization,/Voluntary Organizations and it is important and imperative that we need to address questions about their accountability, transparency and role, . Though the NGO /VO sector provides an excellent opportunity for individual excellence and innovation, which may show a different and positive direction to the growth of civil society, however this has not universally happened.
There have been sporadic good practices but this system has not been able to recognize meritorious and credible Voluntary Organizations working in the various corners of the country. For us it is important to highlight the positive good practices and replicate them for community empowerment.
There is a need for debate on the issue of autonomy of NGOs which should come along with responsibility. And the NGOs themselves should come together to establish a regulatory and promoting body that will address these issues and facilitate the functioning and growth of credible NGOs/VOs in positive direction.

Well said ! NGOs should remember that they are Non-Governmental Organisations, and are, therefore, by premise, non-mainstream. Time to develop a model code of conduct, perhaps ?
