The social break throughs are to be allowed for and it needs regular flow of reactions so that the paradigm of its services suit its ever. changing genesis . This is essential for its survival. Continual monitoring of extemal and internal environment enables the organization to leam about the changes in the client's needs, communication mechanisms, media and unstable resources and to develop new programs required for target groups. The message is distinct and irreversible as "the movement for improvement can never be suspended and the exercise for excellence can never be abandoned at any point of time" in any organization's life.
