  1. Must work for public benefits rather than personal profit: the bulk of funds flowing through NGOs should focus on basic humanitarian assistance and development.
  2. Concentrate on health conditions: The works like pit drainage, housing, creation of smokeless environment, good drinking water for animals and human beings, regular health checkup camps must be held regularly.
  3. . Trade and industry promotion: The important problem in the present context is availability of the market for the products of rural enterprises. Therefore, an NGO has a direct link with the government for marketing of the goods. Apart from this, NGO can also go for training the rural youths in fabrication works, wood works, beedi rolling, agarbathi manufacturing, printing press etc.
  4. Involve in Community Development programs: The community development programs like adoption of villages for development, moral support during flood and famine period, supply of food and drinking water during flood, common well, training programs for the rural youths, housing projects, repair and renovation of houses etc. that satisfy the basic necessities.

Therefore, a sustainable organization is one, which is able to remain in existence for long, delivering the same or better level and quality of service, enduring and withstanding hardships and moving along its declared mission.
