Asha Gramodaya Trust, a registered public charitable trust in Madhya Pradesh, runs a literacy programme in tribal blocks. It relies on community volunteers, raises small donations, and acts as a watchdog by publishing reports on how a state scheme for tribal schooling is being implemented. In the social governance framework, which sector does the Trust primarily represent?

The Trust represents civil society. It is a voluntary, non-profit body that delivers services, mobilises communities and holds the state accountable by monitoring a scheme. Monitoring government work or raising donations does not turn it into a government or corporate entity.

Voluntary, non-profit bodies such as trusts, societies and NGOs that mobilise citizens, deliver services and hold authorities accountable form civil society. Monitoring a government scheme does not make the Trust part of government. Raising donations does not make it a business.
