PARIVARTAN SANDESH FOUNDATION
Parivartan Sandesh Foundation is a Charity organization, envisions a society where every child and woman has equal opportunity to survive and develop to her optimal potential through access to quality education, health services and vocational skills.
I did not edit or change anything. It is how i got it. Now they call the vacancy HOT. I do not have any idea on what that is. Then the Grant Director, which they call, is responsible to raise fund 30 Lac -50 Lac in a year and the salary is5 lacs to 15 lacsannually. Simple logic: If one person is capable of raising that much of money in an year, why should he work for this NGO.
Second, the person has to doAdministrative duties. I mean what is the nature of the job – grant manager or administrative manager. I mean, do these people have any idea on what they write about.
Third, the personshould try to ‘piggy back’ on what the public has an interest in. What does that even mean? Does it mean, the manager shoulduse sympathy of people towardsthe “TARGET” population of NGO and get money outof it. I will share a wall paper that’sfeatured in this NGO’s website.
The NGO says, people should donate second hand fans, coolers and AC for under privileged. I mean, really!. Their definition of under privileged may be a family with aconcrete house with electricity connection and money to pay the bills. They are called privilegedgenerally in development sector.
There is another organizationcalledSPRAT in Ahmedabad that takes 2 months salary from people as bondand put a minimum one year bondage. I mean, these NGOs are run by people who have only profit in their heads and motivation to fill their pockets. They are ruining the development sector as well, providing a bad example.
There is adire need to evaluate such NGOs and put more accountability and transparency. Unless the development sector will still be underdeveloped and exploited. It is a necessity to have external independent reviews of fund utilization and project implementation. Without that, its still business and profitability and nothing else.
