And setting up an NGO is the hottest thing going for
young folks all over Assam - even those without any
socio-economic agenda. It seems NGOs get funds and
those funds can be pocketed easily. Seems easier than
working (or for that matter finding work).

Why do I think is it hot for this category of people?
Because, a cousin of mine, a low level political type
in the hinterland whose party is currently in power
talks about doing it. What it means is that it is a
better option to get money than government contracts.

Sarangapani,

All NGOs are not created equal;separate the wheat from
the chaff,ignore propoganda and look at their track
records,especially financial statements.Despite their
saintly image in the media,some misuse their
funds.Motivations of political,religious,or
ideological activism make not an NGO.Delhi-based NGOs
will not succeed in getting the people of NE to
participate in determining their develomental
needs,since they donot work with native ways of
knowing things.
