[New Delhi]Central Government Tighten Up On NGOs And Welfare Organisations
Women and Child Development (WCD) Minister Smt Maneka Gandhi today said that NGOs and welfare organisations seeking funds for government’s schemes should be checked for duplication as many ministries end up funding them for similar purposes.
She asked MPs to identify genuine NGOs doing good work at a meeting of Consultative Committee of Parliament attached to the Ministry.
The WCD Ministry had recently come across a large number of fake applications under its “Support to Training and Employment Programme for Women” (STEP) scheme, aimed at providing employability skills to women.
“Government should assist the organisations in their task of skill development of women. We will try our best to ensure India’s money goes to the best,” Gandhi said.
Addressing the Committee, Gandhi said the training should not only be restricted to few areas like sewing, stitching and embroidery but should also include various diverse activities like making food items, rope making and knitting which are in demand and can generate easy economic opportunities for women.
