The full form of NGO is Non-Governmental Organization. NGOs are voluntary groups of individuals that are established to pursue goals and aspirations that relate to the public, social, or political good of a nation or the world. NGOs are usually non-profit and independent of any government administration. They can be organized on a local, national, or international level and are task-oriented and driven by people with a common interest. NGOs perform a variety of service and humanitarian functions, bring citizen concerns to governments, advocate and monitor policies, and encourage political participation through the provision of information.
