Nature of source of data collection:

Questionnaire method;

Direct interview;

Personal communication;

To prepare this report I used the following was of data collection.

(1)Questionnaire method:

At first I make a questionnaire as the direction of my supervisor about the TMSS. Thus weaving section I collect other concern questions and arrange them in that questionnaire, following this questionnaire and collect information and data from the TMSS executives.

(ii) Direct interview methods:

I have collected information and data by direct interviewing of the executives and officers of the TMSS. For the purpose of interview I had prepared a set of questionnaire.

(ii) Personal communication:

I have gathered data through personal discussion with the officers of different level employees of the TMSS. They provide information about NGO operations.

Questionnaire Preparations:

The questionnaire is a list or questions to be asked respondents. I prepared questionnaire for my research work with a view to collection answers from the people question. When I prepared the questionnaire, I took specially care so that the work sentences were no obscure, ambiguous and long.

Pre-test of questionnaire:

Before the questionnaire read for the field it needs to be pretended under field conditions.

The questionnaire being prepared when I presented it to the people to be questionnaire in order to collect answer they failed to give answers to some technical questions correctly. In this situation I identified the questionnaire and connected it. Then I prepared a new questionnaire and collected tight data by presenting it to them.

Sample:

The initial sampling was selected through a judgment sampling process. Participant in the research were sought from the NGO.

None-response Error:

I have tried to collect the more information about the NGO but they did not able to Provide current statistical raw data about them.

 

Justification of the study:

This study will have both practical and academic value. It will help to get a clear idea about the NGO. On the other hand the findings of the study will help to take appropriate actions and steps for the development of the NGO.

This study will help to take decision for the investment of the entrepreneurs. They can take proper or appropriate decisions about their capitals investment.

Techniques used in Data Analysis:

A questionnaire was specifically designed to perform qualitative data analysis and was used to organize and understand there data. In the phase of data analysis first interviews are transcribed and then the process of data reduction-data displays and finally the qualitative researchers follow the steps of drawing and verifying conclusions. After analyzing data, I have been using the data for findings.

 

Limitation of the study:

Limitations: This internship report is may first assignment outride our course curriculum in my practical life. I have just completed the formal education stage. After completing the institutional experience, practical performance in the formal stage become very difficult. So in Performing this report our lack of proper knowledge greatly influenced in this performance.

 

Besides the above, have to face some other limitation are:

è    Luck of availability of the data.

è    Up to date information were not available.

è    Sufficient records, Publications fats and figures are not available. These constraints narrowed the scope of the real analysis.

è    For the reason of confidentiality, some useful information can not be expressed in this report.

è    This is my first job experience. So, my knowledge especially in such a research study is limited.

è    Lake of actual data about the NGO.

è    Secondary data is not reliable for the proper figure of the NGO.

è    Lack of availability of the information about the NGO in online.

è    Inappropriate method of data collection

Due to Secrecy, the authority of the NGO does not able to provide the accurate information, which is most important to take the decision about the NGO in the country.

 

Suggestion for the future study:

While this study supports the importance of the funding strategies and identifies the Variable to evaluate the funding strategies, there is still much to be learned about such variables or tools, which are used to evaluate the funding strategies. The model should be examined empirically with a broad sample of the NGO.

Future studies should seek to define the better variables in respect of the seriousness and the probability of the occurrences and to define the strengths this in respect of the market attractiveness and the probability of the occurrences. Sometimes the NGO does not able to give the raw or statistical data about their organizations. I think that the NGO should give the proper data for the interest of the NGO.

Future study should explore all sides of the funding strategies of the NGO. Future study should be based on the actual data of the NGO sector. The questionnaire should be developed properly and efficiently to collect the proper data about the NGO. The report should not be based only on the annual report of the NGO, because these annual reports are prepared in such a way so that the invest/Donate  are motivated to invest/Donate in these Sectors.
