Re: [IAC#RG] WHY FOREIGN FUNDING FOR NGOs ?


----------------------------------this is a surprising discussion when we have failed to address transparency in governance at state level so far. Just because, some civilian agency with no accountability at parliament, leaks a report to whip prevailing public sentiment regarding a report that had little merit and minimal professional rigour, why are we stimulated like Pavlovian experimental dogs? I find this discussion not just ridiculous but also steered by vested ideological interests.

Transparency of the source as well as the expenses is possibly a better way to go about regulating this, than banning it outright.

Time has come to make the working of NGOs receiving foreign aids transparent. They have misused the foreign funding to destabilise the Govt. and should not go scot free. Time has come to make them answerable for their misdeed to the public ban their furtherance in the field.

Dear Mr. Venkataraman
 
The time has certainly come to closely monitor the activiries of N.GOs
Mr. Chidambaram had initiated the process for NGOs getting foreign funds.The present Govt. will now be expediting this process .
Thiere have been serious allegations of misuse of funds not only for conversion but anti-social activities, terrorism and other anti national activities.
Some NGOs are bound to protest but those who have nothing to hide should welcome if it leads to transparancy in their working.
Banning foreign remittances at present will not be feasible, but as the country becomes financially strong and can meet the needs of NGOs through Govt. aid and volutary contribution, it should be the ultimate goal.
The figure of 20 lakhs seems to be on the higher side. All NGOs have to be registered either with Charity Commissioners or as Registered Societies under the Societies Act. Aid from Govt. is difficult to get and not enough.It will be worthwhile to collect data Statewise and Subject-wise. You will be amazed to see heavy concentration in some states and very small nos in many states.
Getting them under RTI will be a tall order. Even PPP projects are not under RTI. But public opinion should be built for NGOs totally dependent on Govt. or foreign funding.
