A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is neither a part of a government nor a conventional for-profit business.
Usually set up by ordinary citizens, NGOs may be funded by governments, foundations, businesses, or private persons. Some avoid formal funding altogether and are run primarily by volunteers. NGOs are highly diverse groups of organizations engaged in a wide range of activities, and take different forms in different parts of the world. Some may have charitable status, while others may be registered for tax exemption based on recognition of social purposes. Others may be fronts for political, religious, or other interests.
The number of NGOs in the United States is estimated at 1.5 million.Russia has 277,000 NGOs.India is estimated to have had around 2 million NGOs in 2009, just over one NGO per 600 Indians, and many times the number of primary schools and primary health centres in India.
NGOs are difficult to define, and the term 'NGO' is not always used consistently. In some countries the term NGO is applied to an organization that in another country would be called an NPO (nonprofit organization), and vice-versa. There are many different classifications of NGO in use. The most common focus is on "orientation" and "level of operation". An NGO's orientation refers to the type of activities it takes on. These activities might include human rights, environmental, improving health, or development work. An NGO's level of operation indicates the scale at which an organization works, such as local, regional, national, or international.

The government recently revoked the licenses of 4470 NGOs. These NGOs were charged with violation of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). Many prestigious institutes fall under the ambit of this order including University of Delhi, JNU, Punjab University among others. Last year also, the government revoked the licenses of 8,975 NGOs and till now the government has taken action against more than 13,000 NGOs. There is a raging debate on whether these foreign funds received by NGOs are being misused thereby affecting country’s economy or is the government suppressing the voice of dissent by means of law.

Nichtregierungsorganisationen sind nicht ungefährlicher, nur weil offiziell keine Regierung hinter ihnen steht. Im Gegenteil: Die mächtigsten NGOs der Welt agieren in der Machthierarchie sogar deutlich über einzelnen Regierungen. Mit ihnen sind dann weitere Netzwerke von einflussreichen NGOs verfilzt. Diese schmücken sich jeweils gerne damit, völlig regierungsunabhängig und privat tätig zu sein, z.B. als edle Hilfswerke für eine sogenannte "offene Zivilgesellschaft" in rückständigen Ländern. Doch genau da liegt das Problem: Die mächtigsten Kriegstreiber auf Erden sind längst nicht mehr Staaten und Regierungen, sondern diejenigen privaten Gruppen, die diese Staaten und Regierungen an der Leine führen. - In dieser Dokumentation nennen wir Ross und Reiter... http://www.kla.tv/8061 WICHTIGE...

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Even before the earthquake, Haiti's government was not fully functioning and Haitians relied on non-governmental organisations (NGOs) for many services, including healthcare, education and humanitarian aid. But many in the NGO community and outside of it say they are critical of the unchecked power this community can wield despite the good work. A report from Oxfam, one of the major NGOs working in Haiti admitted that international groups often exclude the state in their plans and should do more to work with the government. Paul Farmer, the UN deputy special envoy to Haiti, said until the government has the resources it needs, Haiti will remain "the republic of NGOs". Al Jazeera's Sebastian Walker reports.

I need, I need your love like the flowers need the sun
To grow and reach the sky, let us try to be as one
I need to feel your love, I need you deep inside
Put me on your rocket ship and take me out of sight
I see stars. Can you see them, too?

Yeah, visions break is the man that froze them solid
Getting my hands up in your pocket
Before the rocket ship that's rockin' (Rockin', rockin')
You're the Venus with the fly trap
Legs up, your eyes fat
You can chew on this like Trident
You can try this, then try that
Spectrals
It's the Haley's Comet in the bedroom
You pour sugar on this entity
As he promised you'll be blessed soon
Freedom
He gives you the energy of the gods
With the ménage-a-trois mossad
Till the applause
I see stars. Can you see them, too?
