Fred has sent an interesting post, which should make people all over think. Perhaps we often look to the government to do many things for us, and then complain when they do not fulfill our expectations. Social organisations are a very effective self-help groups.
To take the issue forward, we need to know how we can measure the social capital. And have a benchmark which will indicate whether the society has an adequate quantity of it. We also need to know who to go about creating such a social capital.
Different societies may need different types of social capital. Does Fred have any suggestions about what types would be best suited for Goa?
As a matter of query what is the difference between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private voluntary organizations (PVOs)? I am surprised to see a mention of citizens' militia included in the list of civil society institutions. Correct me if I am wrong, but a militia is an armed organisation.
Organized religion is also included in the list. Hinduism is not an organized religion, despite of attempts of some to make it so. Does this mean that Hinduism cannot have a role, while Islam and Christianity can?
