A society is shaped by the people living within it and is moulded by the way they want it to operate by setting rules and regulations. But it is people after all who live in a society and they have to live together as united, no matter the irreconcilable divisions which separate a person from another. Different institutions are created by people for social gathering and also for the welfare of all. Say for example NGOs or charitable trusts which operate for helping those in distress or old age homes, orphanages, welfare centers which fight for social causes irrespective of the thought of personal profit.

Non Governmental Organizations work for the greater good of hapless people and orphanages which shelter children abandoned at their doorsteps along with old age home sheltering those who have nowhere to go. Dharwad’s society is transforming into a cosmopolitan social order with NGOs springing in this city along with old age homes, coping with the growing and imminent needs of the developing city.
