Most often, nonprofits and government offices are wedded to the same cause, of improving living standards and working towards progress. \u00a0Therefore, partnerships with the government, in some areas of mutual interest, is inevitable for nonprofits and social organizations to achieve the desired impact.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/28009440104_3002462bfd_z-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"28009440104_3002462bfd_z\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/28009440104_3002462bfd_z-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/28009440104_3002462bfd_z.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Organizations involved in social work reportedly face challenges in working with government run offices, finding gaps in communication, understanding each other\u2019s work styles and temper \u00a0as well as arriving at mutual goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Forging a winning association with the government can be achieved, based on trust and communication, according to Founder and Chairman, Agastya Foundation, Ramji Raghavan. \u201cIt (working with the government) is a continuous relationship building exercise. It is not just the government; I have seen challenges in the private sector as well,\u201d he said, speaking at a session in the Development Dialogue 2016.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While communicating to the government, it is important to articulate the plan in simple ways, explicitly describing your plans and potential to scale. \u201cYour message (in communications) has to be simple, there are certain instances where government offices look for solutions that scale. In certain instances, your capacity to articulate a solution that scales is important,\u201d Ramji added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He urged enterprises working at the grassroots to keep sight of their founding goals and to articulate their mission in simple, inspiring ways. \u201cIf you want to scale, the message has to be very simple. It must hit (the listener) as an idea and give an emotional connect. Simplicity in the way you articulate your mission is very important,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-r-border s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/to-partner-with-government-communicate-your-idea-in-simple-ways-and-articulate-your-scalability-ramji\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=To Partner With Government, Communicate Your Idea in Simple Ways and Articulate Your Scalability: Ramji&url=https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/to-partner-with-government-communicate-your-idea-in-simple-ways-and-articulate-your-scalability-ramji\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/to-partner-with-government-communicate-your-idea-in-simple-ways-and-articulate-your-scalability-ramji\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/to-partner-with-government-communicate-your-idea-in-simple-ways-and-articulate-your-scalability-ramji\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=To%20Partner%20With%20Government,%20Communicate%20Your%20Idea%20in%20Simple%20Ways%20and%20Articulate%20Your%20Scalability:%20Ramji&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/to-partner-with-government-communicate-your-idea-in-simple-ways-and-articulate-your-scalability-ramji\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The work of a non-profit organization can seldom be isolated from that of the government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":2130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"amp_status":""},"categories":[8,21],"tags":[128,37],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2129"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2129"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2849,"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2129\/revisions\/2849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
