Abstract

The research has been conducted using qualitative method. The findings of research show that condition of poor has not been much improved across the country particularly in rural areas of Pakistan. The study is of good value as there are number of controversies among different stakeholders including government regarding NGOs while NGOs claim total success in their work areas particularly rural areas. The study will suggest further research on testing such claims made by NGOs.

The role of education can’t be something that can be ignored in social and economic development of any society
Private sector is contributing to this cause but a large proportion of population comprises of people who have low incomes and they are unable to get education for their children through private sector while government sector is unable to cater the needs so a large proportion of population is dependent upon the NGO sector for education needs according to Asian Development Bank [1]
NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS-DEFINITIONS “NGO is an organization that is not based in the public sector and is not created to earn profit”
Summary
The role of education can’t be something that can be ignored in social and economic development of any society. Low quality of education provided by the government schools discourages the parents from sending their children to these schools and the education provided is unable to contribute properly to the social and economic development. Instead, people keep their children for earning skills so that they can contribute towards their household income. The immense benefits of education correlate with social, economic and environmental quality Health care is another important development tool, as it provides both short-term and long-term benefits.
