Movement groups.
ANSWER:-
Pressure groups are organisations that attempt
to influence government policies. These are
formed when people with common occupation,
interest, aspirations come together to achieve
some common objectives. But they do not aim
to share political power.
Generally, there are three types of
pressure groups:-
1. Seasonal Interest Groups:-They represent a
section of society like workers, employees,
buisness persons, industrialists, followers of a
particular religion, etc.
Their main concern is the betterment and
well-being of their own members, not society in
general.
2. Promotional or Public Interest Groups:- They
promote collective rather than selective good.
They aim to help groups other than their own
members.
For example, a group fighting against bonded
labour fights not for itself but for all who are the
victims of this social curse.
3. Movement Groups:- Most of the movement
groups are issue-specific that seek to achieve a
single objective within a limited period.
For example, Narmada Bachao Andolan which
started with the specific issue of the people
displaced by the creation of Sardar Sarovar
Dam on the Narmada River.
Pressure groups exert pressure or influence on
the policies of a country in various ways which
play a significant role in policy making decisions
of the country.
