Building NGO-corporate partnership: An alternative perspective

Abstract

In its Perspectives section, Vikalpa (Vol 25, No 2, April-June 2000) had published the views of Anil Bhatt on the theme "Building NGO-Corporate Partnership for Social Development.*" In this issue, V L Mote, while agreeing with Bhatt's observations that the corporate sector must involve itself with social development, warns against the cor porate sector entering into hasty collabora tion with NGOs to achieve this purpose. Drawing on the Arvind Mills' experience, the author pleads that the corporations and the NGOs should join hands only after they have known each other well and make sure that they supplement each other's skill and resources. � 2000, � 2000 SAGE Publications.
