印度志愿部门已经经历了一个多世纪的发展。诞生于英国殖民时期的印度志愿部门,在印度独立后曾与政府建立了紧密的合作关系,也在20世纪70年代遇到过波折。进入20世纪90年代,在新自由主义经济发展模式的影响下,印度政府建立了新的志愿部门相关法律体系,并颁布了一系列支持政策,构建了可持续的政府与志愿组织合作机制。当代的印度志愿部门在经济发展、人权提升和边缘群体维权、政府行为监督等领域发挥了积极作用。随着与政府的关系日益紧密,印度志愿部门在未来也面临着活动空间变小、公众代表性减弱等挑战。
<<Voluntary sector in India has a fairly long tradition. Born in the British Colonial Period,voluntary organizations were reinvigorated in post-colonial India,yet its relationship with government encountered turbulence in 1970s. After the India State accepted Neo-Liberal Policy in 1990s,it promoted new legislative and supporting initiatives to consolidate the collaborative mechanism between the State and civil society. In the contemporary days,voluntary sector in India played positive roles such as economic inclusion facilitator,anti-human behavior protester,right promoter marginalized and watchdog against the State. However,there has been concerned that too much reliance on the State may weaken the autonomous capacity of voluntary sector and its responsibilities to the needs of the grassroots.
