ABSTRACT
The Society mode of implementation of development programmes, as we have seen in the previous chapter, has made huge demands on the institutional mechanisms hitherto employed for ‘development’ in various fields. It has necessitated the setting up of autonomous Societies, placed in a mission mode, ostensibly to do away with the bureaucratization and red tape that is seen to have hampered development so far. It is therefore seen as an attempt to increase efficiency in the delivery of social services to the people.
