Highlights -

 

1. Total contributions received by NGO's in India during the year 2002-03 was Rs 5046 crs.

2. Highest state is Delhi 881 crs, Tamil Nadu 775 crs and Andhra Pradesh 630 crs in that order.

3. Largest donor countries are U.S.A 1680 crs, Germany 715 crs and U.K.683 crs in that order.

U.S.A 90 crs, Foundation Vincent Spain 90 crs.

5. Largest receipements of contributions were World Vision Tamil Nadu 98 crs,

Rural Development Trust Andhra 80 crs and Sri Sathya Baba Trust Andhra 60 crs.

6. The top receipement district was Chennai 363 crs, Bangalore 358 crs, Mumbai 284 crs.

 

Trends - 1993-94 receipts 1865 crs, 1999-2000 3924 crs, 2002-03 5046 crs. Wonder

what is the figure of contributions recd through non-banking channels ie HAWALA.

 

Analysis

1. U.S. & Germany govts are both pro Christian and are the top donor countries.

In fact Germans pay a income tax to the Church.

2. Tamil Nadu and Andhra seem to be the focus of missionary activity.

3. Ford Foundation - wonder if we can a report of how it utilized the money in India.

4. World Vision International is the premier Christian NGO and top receiver of

funds from abroad.

5. Chennai is an area of focus for foreign funds.

6. Christian NGO dominate the list of top receipements of foreign funds.

7. There are only 3 Muslim associations amongst the top receipements, 1 is

Saifee Hospital Mumbai, 2 is Aga Khan foundation Delhi. Obviously most of the

money comes through Hawala.

 

As TV channels have shown during there are so many poor Blacks in the U.S.A,

wonder why Christian NGO's in the U.S.A are so keen to send contributions to

India!

With Prem, Cheers
