Why we should depend on Government for everything?

In todays news paper there is a news which says that in Anandpur Sahib a Sant Labha Singh Baba has built a bridge costing about Rs. 20 crore with the " Kar seva" from villagers and with out government money. Sant Labh Singh Baba is not the only one to do this. There are lot of people in this country who have been doing lot of work for public good sans government help.

I personally feel why should we look at government or public representatives for every thing? Are they not acting like agents and using only our money? Apart from this, these people executing public work has its own problems like corruption and escalated cost as well and in turn higher taxes.

There are many areas where NGOs can perform far better. From our own experience of  running 'Sandnya' since last 20 years is a ample proof of what I say. We have been operating with out government aid since last 20 years and the only funding source is donations from philanthropic people. We have a monthly expanse of Rs.3.00 lacks plus and there are 45 people employed. It is worth noting that in last 20 years the salary of our staff is not delayed even for one day. I sincerely believe that ours is not a exceptional case. There must be lot of NGOs working for good cause with honesty and sincerity and obviously with out government aid.

In last month only "Sandnya" has purchased third bus for its mentally challenged students which has costed us Rs.15.4 lacks. And the whole amount came through small donations with in a period of 18 months. We do not consider this as a miracle but it is only the result of sincere, honest, and selfless efforts. Sandnya is a Divine Intervention and thus functions smoothly.
