In India I have seen that ngos are taking pre-school education, primary education, govt. programmes like ICDS, adult literacy, skill training/vocation training etc. The government knows the ngos are nearer to the people and can make suitable approach for the educational development depending upon the resources and needs of the area is concerned.
Especially in India NGOs particularly concentrated in Tribal areas as well as the development of rural poor. Education is the key for development. Now the NGOs mainly concentrated in education and health. There is no bus facility, health facility and electric facility in rural interior places. Now the political scenario in parliament and assembly's they are not interested in rural poor and the problems of the poor, but they are concentrated in political mileage. this is also one of the backwardness for rural education. So there is a need for NGOs to involve in rural education.
