Usually interest groups seek to promote the interests of a particular section or group of society. They are sectional because they represent a section of society: workers, employees, business persons, industrialists, followers of a religion, caste group, etc.

Public interest group:They promote collective rather than selective good. They aim to help groups other than their own members. For example, a group fighting against bonded labour fights not for itself but for those who are suffering under such bondage.

Most of the movements are issue specific movements that seek to achieve a single objective within a limited time frame.

Organizations that mobilise or assemble people with a view to win political power are called as political parties.
