Plethora of opportunities on your way
Development sector has evolved from just grassroots to a large variety of categories ranging from social foundations, ecosystem organisations, international NGO’s and much more providing interested individuals multiple flexible opportunities, says P C Chhabra
The development sector is huge; it is divided into various foreign and national funding NGO’s, grassroots that usually run on a local level. As per reports, India ranks 131 on the Human Development Index and takes the 101th position on the Global Hunger Index of 116 countries across the globe. While researches state, India only meets seven out of the 13 global nutrition targets, it becomes a necessity to meet the global nutrition targets as India places itself among the 88 countries that are likely to not fulfil them by 2025. There is seen to be no progress, rather there have been reports on the situations deteriorating. Out of 132, India still ranks 114th in the Global Nutrition Report since 2016.
As there are a large number of issues that affect the country as a whole, this creates a need for various divisions to handle multiple functions. Some of them include development support, resource generation, human resource development, information technology, strategic planning and a lot more. Nowadays professionals and young minds wish to create sustainable changes; they see it as more of a personal thing and wish to reach out to individuals who are in much need of their help. The development sector is evolving as an exciting place of work.
Specialised organisational structure
The developmental sector though being a non-profit organisation earlier has managed to make a specialised change in its working structure by improving work, managerial roles. Now, the development sector is looking out for talents that are filled with programme leadership, strategy, fundraising and higher job opportunities for those having CEO responsibility skills, CSR partnerships and such. Giving placements for such evolving and flourishing talents it gives a rise to the development sector. In the past, development sector also called as social sector was only about traditional roles like field or volunteering jobs. The jobs were looked down as basic sectors and had less people signing in. However, there has been an immense change due to the entry and willingness of new talents in this particular sector. The jobs roles from general management have turned into various other job opportunities.
