Surely 100% foreign aid can be allowed to NGO's provided the aid is not received and used for anti-nation and anti-development purposes as reported by IB.

If the government can allow foreign fund (100 % FDI) then why not for development sector which is less risky than defence

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.

ToIndia Against CorruptionWHY FOREIGN FUNDING FOR NGOs ?While some NGOs are protesting about the accusation of intelligence bureau that some NGOs receive foreign funds which are misused , the question arises in one's mind immediately as to why these NGOs receive funds from abroad at all. Can they not function well with the money made available to them by the government (around Rs. 950 crores per annum) and by many donors in India ?While it is true that many NGOs are doing good work in several areas, there is suspicion that quite a number of NGOs in the country view the NGO activities as "business opportunity" perhaps, this explains as to why there are around 20 lakh number of NGOs in the country at present. ( One for every 600 citizens) Several promoters of NGOs who are not employed and who have no known source of income often are seen living in comfortable life style, with posh office facilities and travelling frequently. Obviously, such promoters divert part of the donation made to the NGOs for their personal benefits. It is also believed that under the cover of NGO, the overseas funds are used for conversions and other purposes under the guidance of overseas masters.NGOs have very crucial role to play, since large percentage of countrymen living below poverty line and exploitation of the innocent people and atrocities against women are increasing.. At the same time, it has to be ensured that bad elements and motivated campaigners do not hide their true colour in the name of NGOs.Certainly, there is strong case that Government of India should closely monitor the activities of NGOs particularly those receiving funds from abroad and NGOs should be brought under RTI Act.It would be even appropriate that Government of India should ban the practice of NGOs receiving funds from abroad once for all.N.S.VenkataramanNandini Voice For The DeprivedEmail:- nsvenkatchennai@gmail.com
