We work for Oxfam India which is the Indian division of an international NGO. Oxfam India came into existence in September 2008, today it works for over 200 projects across the country by partnering with 225 local NGOs who help them a wider reach at the grass root level.
Ms. Nisha Agarwal, CEO, Oxfam India has come back to India to work for her native land after spending two decades working for social development issues across the globe.
Below is a quote from here where she has elaborated on what the social sector expects from the budget 2009-10.
QUOTE:
"The economic slowdown is leading to increased unemployment and hardship for the poor and vulnerable sections of society. In this budget, it is extremely important for the Government to expand expenditures on safety nets, such as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGA), and schemes that distribute food at subsidized rates, including the mid-day meal scheme. In addition, it is also important to provide social protection for other vulnerable sections of the population, such as the urban poor, and workers in the unorganized sectors. " Says Ms. Nisha Agarwal, CEO, Oxfam India
Attached is her picture and profile for your reference.
