In this paper, we present a new class of distributions called New Generalized Lindley Distribution(NGLD). This class of distributions contains several distributions such as gamma, exponential and Lindley as special cases. The hazard function, reverse hazard function, moments and moment generating function and inequality measures are are obtained. Moreover, we discuss the maximum likelihood estimation of this distribution. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated by means of two real data sets. We hope that the new distribution proposed here will serve as an alternative model to other models available in the literature for modelling positive real data in many areas.
