There has been a prolific growth of voluntary organizations in India since independence in 1947. One of the major areas of this growth has been in the field of community health. The purpose of this article is to historically trace the voluntary movement in community health in India, analyze the current status, and predict future trends of voluntary efforts. A review of the literature in the form of a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis was the method of this study. Some of the key trends which emerged as the priority areas for progress and for strengthening voluntary organizations in the future were enhancing linkages between health and development; building upon collective force; greater utilization of participatory training; establishing egalitarian and effectual linkages for decision making at the international level; developing self-reliant community-based models; and the need for attaining holistic empowerment at individual, organizational, and community levels through "duty consciousness" as opposed to merely asking for rights.
自1947年独立以来，印度的志愿组织大量涌现。这一发展的主要领域之一是社区卫生领域。本文旨在从历史角度追溯印度社区卫生领域的志愿运动，分析当前状况，并预测志愿工作的未来趋势。本研究采用了以优势、劣势、机会和威胁（SWOT）分析形式进行的文献综述方法。作为未来取得进展和加强志愿组织的优先领域而出现的一些关键趋势包括：加强卫生与发展之间的联系；依靠集体力量；更多地利用参与式培训；在国际层面建立平等有效的决策联系；发展自力更生的社区模式；以及通过“责任意识”在个人、组织和社区层面实现全面赋权的必要性，而不仅仅是要求权利。
