ABSTRACT
Only Mennonite Central Committe (MCC) has effective rules and hours of work, MCC field workers do not have to work at weekends or after office hours. Over the years, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) like PROSHIKA and Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) have grown into large bureaucratic bodies. The problem of workload affects women field workers differently as they cannot work at night. The importance of promotion for field workers for keeping them motivated and getting good services needs no elaboration. Jackson in her study of field workers in India found that they faced rejection from villagers, who did not want anyone to come to their villages. Antagonism from the local political power structure makes the work of the NGO field workers very difficult or impossible. A major duty of all field workers is to fight resistance, and in some cases attacks, from local religious leaders and fundamentalists.
