Question

What are the public interest pressure groups? Describe their functioning

Answer 1

Here is your answer.
Public Interest Pressure groups are those that promote collective rather than selective interests. They aim to help groups other than their own members.

Their functioning is as follows:-

(i) They represent some common interests that needs to be defended.

(ii) The members of the organisation mag not benefit from the causes that the organisation represents, e.g. A group fighting against bonded labour fights not for itself but for those who are suffering under such bondage.
