Abstract
NGOs have expanded their activities in developed and underdeveloped areas.
They mobilize the community to be self-reliant, support people to discover
their own potentials, and rely on their own resources. Badin District is one
of least developed districts of Pakistan. In Badin 60 local, national and
international NGOs are working. This study aims to explore NGOs’
performance in public opinion. Data were collected through closed-ended
questionnaire and sample consists of 270 respondents from general public
selected randomly. Data were analyzed using percentage, bar charts and pie
charts. The research concluded that most people have a positive and
optimistic views about NGOs. However there are certain shortcomings in
them like political interference and insignificant changes brought by NGOs,
as public don’t seem completely satisfied with them. There was no NGO
found working for unemployment and senior citizens’ welfare in Badin
region. NGOs should comply with their manifestation, as an entity is
recognized not only by what it asserts but what it performs.
