What is NGO , Trust , Society Difference between in NGO , Trust , Society.
In the context of India, “NGO,” “Trust,” and “Society” are three common legal structures used for non-profit organizations. Here’s a brief explanation of the differences between NGO, Trust, and Society in Hindi:
- NGO (Non-Governmental Organization): NGO (गैर-सरकारी संगठन) is a broad term that encompasses various forms of non-profit organizations. NGOs can be structured as trusts or societies, and they work towards social, environmental, or humanitarian causes. The term “NGO” is often used generically to refer to any non-profit organization.
- Trust (ट्रस्ट): A trust (विशेषाधिकार) is a legal entity that manages and holds property for the benefit of specific individuals or the general public. In the context of NGOs, a public charitable trust can be formed for charitable purposes. The trust is managed by trustees who are appointed to administer the trust’s activities.
- Society (समाज): A society (समाज) is another legal form for NGOs. It is governed by the Societies Registration Act of 1860. A society is an association of individuals who come together for a specific purpose, such as social, educational, or charitable activities. It is managed by a governing body elected by its members.
Differences:
- Formation: A trust is formed through a trust deed, while a society is formed by registering under the Societies Registration Act. An NGO, as a term, is more general and can refer to either a trust or a society.
- Management: Trusts are managed by trustees, and societies are managed by a governing body or managing committee.
- Registration: Trusts are registered with the office of the Sub-Registrar, while societies are registered with the Registrar of Societies.
- Flexibility: Societies generally offer more flexibility in terms of administration and decision-making due to the elected governing body, whereas trusts may have a more rigid structure with trustees.
It’s important to note that the choice between a trust and a society depends on the specific goals, activities, and preferences of the individuals involved in setting up the non-profit organization. Each structure has its own advantages and requirements.
