Overview of Civil Society: Nepal
Asian Development Bank | June 2009
Abstract
India has a long history of civil society based on the concepts of daana (giving) and seva (service). Voluntary organizations—organizations that are voluntary in spirit and without profit-making objectives—were active in cultural promotion, education, health, and natural disaster relief as early as the medieval era. They proliferated during British rule, working to improve social welfare and literacy and pursuing relief projects.
