Ans:  Benefits Society:
         A benefits society is a developed society by which life is made easier by providing facilities in different ways of life. It is an organization formed to provide mutual benefits to their
people, for instance financial assistance for education, unemployment, birth of a baby, sickness and medical expenses, retirement and funerals. Often benefit societies provide a social or educational framework for members and their families to support each other and contribute to the wider community. They also provide insurance for relief from several difficulties.
               Benefit societies may be organized around background, religion, occupation, geographical region or other basis. Examples of benefit societies include trade unions, friendly societies, credit unions, self-help groups, immigrant hometown societies, fraternal organizations and many others.
A benefit society can be characterized by:

  • Members having equivalent opportunity in the organization
  • Aid going to those in need (strong helping the weak)
  • A collection fund for payment of benefits
  • Educating others
  • Preserving cultural traditions
  • Mutual respect

Social ability and kindness are important principles of a benefit society. Many of the features of benefit organizations today rely on the corporate and political structures of our time. Insurance companies, religious charities, credit unions and democratic governments now perform many of the same functions that were once the part of ethnically- or culturally-affiliated mutual benefit associations. Even new technologies have provided more new opportunities for humanity to support itself through mutual aid.
