From the Preface : NGO Development Initiative and Public Policy attempts to bring together in the following articles, papers, documentary excerpts and discussion notes, a broad-spectrum profile of the means, measures and motivations of the most vital segment of the development machinery. The compilation includes materials on several significant aspects of participatory development and voluntary action and initiative, such as: NGOs in villages and grass-roots development; training needs of NGOs–a case study of Delhi; the unorganised sector as target group; family health perspectives and NGO action; and public policy in relation to public initiative, which comprises case studies in community health, pre-school education and day-care centres in urban areas. Two valuable appendices round off the compilation with focus on financial assistance to NGOs in selected schemes of Government and Government audit of grants to voluntary organisations. The materials organised in the present publication will serve as a focussed effort to define the parameters of NGO initiative in India.
