Features of Sectional Groups:

  1. They seek to promote the interest of a particular section of society.
  2. They are sectional groups because they represent a section of a society.
  3. They promote selective good and are concerned only about the interests of their sections of the society.
  4. Their principal concern is the betterment and wellbeing of their members, not society in general.
  5. Trade Unions, Business Associations and Professional Bodies are some examples of this type.

Features of Public Interest Groups:

  1. They seek to promote the collective interests rather than selective.
  2. They are public groups because they represent the general people of the society.
  3. They promote collective good and are concerned with welfare of the society and not just their own members.
  4. A group fighting against bonded labour fights not for itself but for those who are suffering under such bondage.
  5. in some instances, the members of a public interest group may undertake activity that benefit them as well as others too. For example, BAMCEF.
