NGOs and Government in Collaboration for Development (2004) : Developed on the basis of a Keynote Address delivered to the Karnataka Regional Branch of the Indian Institute of Public Administration, this document traces the traditional moorings of voluntary action and their influence on current thinking of the State with regard to NGOs. It analyses the possibly well-meaning but often blurred perception of NGOs by the State, leading to contradictory expectations and resulting in a love-hate relationship that struggles to come into its own.
