NGOs  receiving funds from   Govt.  of Odisha( Bulletin-28)

Office of Project  Director, ATMA, Baragarh  District,  Odisha

Dear friends

Many  people  from different sections  have requested me to  put  in public domain  about NGOs/ corporate  house  backed NGOs/ Delhi-based NGOs / NGOs  promoted by bureaucrats mainly IAS officers   funded  by State Govt.   to carry out development  projects  in the state.  In fact, many corporate bodies have formed their own NGOs and taking huge amount of fund from Govt.  in the name of their NGOs   influencing or bribing the state bureaucracy. Similarly, many Delhi-based NGOs who do not have any experience or any infrastructure in the state have been awarded big volume of fund from state Govt.  to carry out various  welfare works. Many IAS officers, political leaders and Govt. itself have promoted their own NGOs engaging their relatives to get fund from Govt. in the name of awareness programme or welfare  activities. 

 

In my pursuit of  understanding  functioning of the NGOs in the state   and funds provided  to them for various works, I had  submitted  RTI  on dt. 26.2.13 to 12  important Departments to get the information about it.  After receiving my application, The PIO, Department of Revenue and Disaster Management   forwarded my application to all departments. The PIOs of all Depts forwarded the same to their all subordinate offices to provide the information directly to me. In the meantime, I have received huge information about NGOs funded by Govt., MOU signed with them, period of work and amount already sanctioned.  Keeping in view the voluminous information, I have decided to put in public domain in Public Authority-wise.  So that the readers can   spend less time to go through it and give their comments.
