NGOs also work as pressure groups who force the Government to form laws or enact acts on an issue to protect the rights of its Citizen.  Right to Information Act 2005 was passed in Parliament due to pressure from NGOs, which were fighting against corruption. Though the NGOs play an important role in the social development but sometimes they oppose development projects on behest of external players who used them as tools to hamper the development.
