WHAT IS NGO
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is basically a legally constituted organization which is operated by legal persons who act independently from any government. The term is used for those organizations which have wider social target with political aspects. However, any NGO cannot be blatantly political organizations. The term “non-governmental organization” has no agreed legal definition and these are termed as “civil society organizations” in many jurisdictions.

CASE STUDY OF GOOD KNIGHT
In 1973,when Mohan boarded a second class compartment of the Jayanti Express to Mumbai(Bombay) from Thrissur in Kerala in South India in search of a job, little did he realize that he would be known as ‘GOOD KNIGHT’ Mohan in a few years’ time.
The case study was given to the students to make them understand the value of an innovative idea design. The idea, was just an analysis of situation, demand of people, and had lots of care for people in it (as it was to save them from being bitten by mosquitoes). So the case study let them understand the value of how important it is to be innovative and think of an idea and implement it to its fullest at the right time. It is not always education that can make you rich. Even a small idea can change your life.
Discussion of Case Study
The case study was discussed then with the students and students came up with a lots of innovative ideas. The discussion was a valuable one for the students. It really made them know the value of an INNOVATIVE IDEA. They understood that an idea can really change their lives and what is the importance of an innovative idea design.
