A non-government company or entity.
Contexto cultural
Bangladesh is known as the 'land of NGOs'. The term 'বেসরকারি সংস্থা' is often synonymous with social progress, microcredit, and rural empowerment. In West Bengal, the term is used similarly but perhaps less frequently for social work compared to Bangladesh, as the state government has a different historical relationship with social services. Working in a 'বেসরকারি সংস্থা' is often associated with 'corporate culture'—modern offices, English-speaking environments, and performance-based promotions. International organizations like the UN often partner with local 'বেসরকারি সংস্থা' to implement projects in South Asia.
Use for NGOs
If you are talking about an NGO in Bangladesh, always use this phrase. It sounds much more natural than trying to translate 'Non-governmental organization' literally.
Spelling Check
In older texts, you might see 'বেসরকারী' (with a long 'ee'). Modern Bengali spelling rules (Bangla Academy) prefer 'বেসরকারি' (with a short 'i').
