Abstract
It is worthwile to recall what Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton stated at the Rajiv Gandhi foundation speech in March 1995, "NGO's are often created by individuals with a dream............... ........... Of a better world. NGO's can give voice to the aspirations of people who are left out of the modern economy, and whose influence on the Government may otherwise besmall. In no area are NGO's more important than in efforts to educate and empower women" India is a developing nation. As with all countries in the third world, she is caught up in a vicious, circle of poverty. Everything about the 'poor' and 'poverty' in India is defined in terms of a 'lack' -powerlessness, apathy and disorganisation are some of the major attributes we use to define and describe the poor.'
