The mushroom growth of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) has been of no consequence as they fail to reach to the people at times of need.
Barring siphoning huge sums on the name of helping the needy and those in distress, these very NGOs are in fact looting the national wealth which runs into several crores of rupees annually.
According to the sources majority of the NGOs are just functioning on papers and their activities are nowhere visible on the ground. To become NGO has become a craze to derive undue benefits at the cost of those who actually need it.
Those in need of help have been cursing these NGO for their failure in rising to the occasion and coming to their rescue at the time of hand. How many people are getting their services of these so-called NGOs one can visualize it during a visit to Government Medical College Hospital here where every week unattended patient are dying.
There are number of small and big NGOs in Jammu city alone and are getting money from government in the shape of aid for providing services to the people in distress. But to whom they are providing services they know better.
A number of unattended patients are always found waiting outside the Government Medical College hospital here for somebody to help them. Though the hospital authorities provide them the medical treatment including free medicines and food but they too are unable to provide the other facilities like attendants due to paucity of staff. So, it becomes the responsibility of NGOs to help them and arrange attendants, but not even a single NGO excepting Mother Terasa, has ever come forward for this noble task. Though the Control Room set up at GMC hospital, has many a times tried to contact some NGOs for the purpose but all in vain as these (NGOs) have either refused to oblige or failed to response.
Control Room Incharge of GMC, Dr. Ravinder Khajuria, said we did try many a times to contact the NGOs for their help by providing attendants to the unattended patients but not even a single time any NGOs came forward. He also told that whenever they made contacts with NGOs they openly refused to help saying that it was not their duty .However he was of praise of ‘Mother Teresa Home’ which has been always in the forefront for the noble cause.
