| Summary: | Mr. Mukul Mehta launched a non-governmental organization (NGO) to promote awareness and safeguard the rights and security of street children in India. He faces challenges with funding, and in developing long-term collaborative relationships with stakeholders. What models of success can he look to? Mehta's story is fictional but is meant to represent the hard-pressing issues facing many Indian NGO leaders today. Those leaders have a model in the pioneering efforts of an existing NGO, Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBAn), which is one of the leading child rights organizations in India. The case provides background information on the work of BBAn, highlighting how its leader, Nobel laureate Mr. Kailash Satyarthi, initiated a series of strategies that younger Indians like Mr. Mukul Mehta can learn from as they launch parallel and complementary efforts across the country. BBAn was formed in 1980, and over the years has had to constantly innovate to realize advances in child protection. Likewise, leaders like Mehta will have to both build on existing wisdom and develop new methods for furthering the campaign to create a society which is safe and friendly for children. |
