| NGO’s in J&K, money minting institutions | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 28: Despite having 3500 registered non-governmental organizations in Jammu and Kashmir, majority of them have become money minting institutions.
Sources said that added to this is the politician-NGO nexus, with many of the leaders operating NGOs in the name of their family members. While some NGOs are being run by sincere individuals who have taken up several projects without seeking any personal favour, a good number of these NGOs act as ‘Milch cows’ for those controlling them.
Ashwani Kumar, a senior citizen said that several senior officials and “think-tanks” had set up NGOs after retirements, which are only creative in the ways in which they accumulate funds in crores. Sources said that the so-called independent NGO acts as a mouthpiece for political parties, expressing their point of views as public opinion.
He added that all such organizations are there to improve their functioning and work in close coordination with the government for achieving common goals. There has been little ground work on various issues concerning women and children in the state while human rights issues usually get politicize.
It is pertinent to mention that any political leader or government official is not authorized for running a NGO as the provision mentions. Despite that, action has been taken by concerned authority to control increasing ratio of political indulgence in the Non- Governmental Organisations.
Director Societies B.S. Dua said that the issue is being discussed with the government and a concrete action is on cards against those who are using NGOs to earn money. He said that there is no existing law or act to de-register any NGO if found violating the provision made for running NGO’s.
