New Delhi: The Indian government has blacklisted 69 non government organizations from receiving foreign funds, parliament was told Tuesday.
Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju told Lok Sabha (the lower house of parliament) that the NGOs include 14 from Andhra Pradesh, 12 from Tamil Nadu, five each from Gujarat and Odisha, four each from Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Kerala and three from Delhi.
In July 2014, the Modi government had decided to closely scrutinize flow of funds to all such NGOs against whom an adverse report has been received from Intelligence Bureau. By then the government has already put Greenpeace International and Climate Works Foundation under scanner and made it mandatory for them to take permission from home ministry before pumping any funds in India.
An IB report had then alleged that protests against development projects fuelled by certain foreign-funded NGOs had caused a presumptive loss of 2 to 3 percent to India’s Gross Domestic Product. It had also named a string of NGOs including Greenpeace India, Cordaid, Amnesty and ActionAid as those fuelling such protests through a network of local organizations such as PUCL and Narmada Bachao Andolan among others.
Government had also asked for a sensitization program to be initiated for NGOs to coax them to conform to FCRA regulations, The Times of India reported.
NGOs in India receive foreign donations in excess of 100 billion rupees annually from more than 150 countries. The IB report alleged that the “areas of action” of the foreign-funded NGOs include anti-nuclear, anti-coal and anti-GM organism protests.
Apart from stalling mega industrial projects including those floated by Posco and Vedanta, these NGOs have also be working to the detriment of mining, dam and oil drilling projects in northeastern India, it alleged.
