PCS provides special consultancy services for Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) in a number of dimensions of development.

In one of the consortiums held in 1997 at New Delhi, Dr. Rajesh Tandon, Executive Director of PRIA at that time, classified the historical NGO Sector efforts in three classes
