Public interest groups are also called promotional groups. These are the groups that promote collective and not selective good. They represent some common or general interest that needs to be defended. The members of the organisation may not benefit from the cause that the organisation represents. They aim to help groups other than their own members. In some cases the members of a public interest group may undertake activity that benefits them as well as others too. For example, in Nepal Human Rights Organisations, and in Bolivia FEDECOR. In India also we have BAMCEF (Backward and Minorities Community Employees Federation) which is an organisation that campaigns against caste discrimination. It addresses the problem of its members who suffer discrimination but its principal concern is with social justice and social equality for the entire society.
