Current Conditions of volunteering in India
Volunteering in NGOs in India has gone through several changes over the years. In the early
days, volunteering was primarily seen as a form of charity work, with individuals and groups
helping out in their spare time. However, with the growth of the NGO sector in India,
volunteering has become more structured and professionalized.
In recent years, there has been an increased focus on skills-based volunteering, where
volunteers use their professional expertise to support NGOs in specific areas such as
marketing, finance, or technology. This has helped NGOs to become more efficient and
effective in their work.
However, there are still challenges that volunteers face in India, including lack of resources
and funding, bureaucratic hurdles, and a lack of recognition for their contributions. The
COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted volunteering, with many NGOs suspending their
operations or shifting their activities online.
Overall, volunteering in NGOs in India has evolved and adapted over time, but there is still
much work to be done to fully leverage the potential of volunteerism in the country.
