BOYS RECREATION CLUB

The responsibilities and duties of Democratic Government is well defined in their respective , Constitution. But the performance of a State so far as constitutional obligations to their , Citizens are far from satisfactory. One can not blame the failures of performances entirely on , the Government shoulders alone. In this age of globalisation, Government is found to be , overburdened despite their sincere desire and will to translate their ideas and responsibilities , into action. There remain always a huge gap between the Government and the people so far , as benefits of the welfare State to make them reachable to the just destination. Instances , may be cited from the various fields of Governmental activities where Government can not , serve properly according to the defined objectives of this State. As for example: Rural , Sanitation, Health & Hygiene, Micro-financial benefits, Universal education, Womwn , trafficking, Early marriage, Child abuse and many others. Without people s active and , meaningful participation, no Government can claim their success for the aforesaid , programmes. Here comes the necessity of forming NGOs for implementation of Government , programmess and constitutional obligation towards the citizen. A Nation can not achieve , their goal entirely by the Government machineries alone. The gap between the shortcomings , of the Government and welfare of the Nation should be narrowed to the desired end by the , activities of NGOs. , , NGOs can play a very big and effective role to create a prosperous Nation by , their sincere participation in various nation-building activities. Nation-building activities , does not necessarily mean only physical welbeing of the people. The word, Nation Building , include man-making activities too. Only a perfect man can do justice to the welbeing of the , Nation. The NGOs should take allout attempts to link their activities with man-making , mission positively without which the result of the Developmental programmes will bound to , suffer. With each of the activities of NGOs, the true human approach should be linked up, if , NGOs want to play a big and successful role to the nation-building activities to which our , NGO, Boys Recreation Club, is engaged at present. , , The Boys Recreation Club started functioning in 1965 with the sole object of all round , development of village, the detailed description of which has been embodied in the Club , Constitution. , , The Boys Recreation Club is a registered Organisation under the Society Registration Act , of the Government of West Bengal on 10th january, 1980 and also attain the Registration of , Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 1976 of the Ministry of Home Affairs under , Government of India on 28th February, 2008. , , Since it s formation, the Club started functioning and atpresent involved in several socio- , economic activities which are not only limited within the village where the club building , situated but is spread far and wide. , , , , Since it s formation BRC has played a pivotal role in performing various social activities specially among the poor, distressed and the backward classes of the society like schedule Caste / schedule Tribes in Cooch Behar district.
