A society may be defined as a company or an association of persons united together by mutual consent to deliberate, determine and act jointly for same common purpose. Minimum seven persons, eligible to enter into a contract, can form society. When an NGO is constituted as a society, it is required to be registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. The chief advantage of forming a society are that it gives a corporate appearance to the organization, and provides greater flexibility as it is easier to amend the memorandum and bye laws of the society than in case of trust, terms of which are strictly manifested in the trust deed. However, formation of a society requires more procedural formalities than in case of a trust. A Society for its inception requires:- I. Memorandum of Association, and II. Rules and Regulations.World society is the only societal system which presently exists in the world. This statement formulates a highly improbable hypothesis. First of all one will ask questions about the concept of society. Is it not true that the concept of society has primarily been conceived by looking to small social systems comprising a few hundred or at most a few thousand members? How can we apply the same concept to tribal social systems as well as to a potential world society? One part of the answer will point to the concept of communication and to connectedness. Society is based on communications as its most elementary events. Communications are connected to other communications and the historical limits of connectivity seem to function as the boundaries of society. Another important part of the answer is to be found in the tradition of sociological systems theory established by Talcott Parsons and Niklas Luhmann. Parsons as well as Luhmann came close in their understanding of society to the Aristotelian tradition: Society is understood as the highest order social system which encloses all relevant social structures and processes into its purview. What distinguishes society from other social systems in this understanding is “self sufficiency”.
