APhilanthropy
BMembership
CFunding
DCommitment to secular and democratic ideals ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Commitment to secular and democratic ideals — Commitment to secular and democratic ideals does not differentiate voluntary organisations from NGOs, so it is the answer.
Explanation
★Commitment to secular and democratic ideals does not differentiate voluntary organisations from NGOs, so it is the answer.
★Both types of body usually uphold these constitutional values.
★Their real differences lie in philanthropy, membership and funding.
★An NGO operates independently of government and excludes government members.
★A voluntary organisation is a non-profit run by unpaid volunteers.
★These are operational and structural differences.
★So shared commitment to secular and democratic ideals is not a point of difference.
