Should a country that aspires to be a superpower continue to receive billions of dollars as charity every year? Spain and Italy are in dire economic straits, Britain had a fiscal deficit of 11% of GDP in 2009-10 yet they remitted over Rs 1000 crs to Indian NGOs per annum. Significantly, barring the UAE, all countries listed above belong to the West. Media reports indicate that some countries in the Middle East, notably Saudi Arabia, made large remittances to India, but these contributions are not listed officially. They are either not coming, or are coming through the hawala route.

Contribution of top 15 donors as a % of total contributions was 13% in 2009-10 and 40% in 2008-09. Big donors of 2008-09 like World Vision International USA and Gospel for Asia Inc USA, Fundacion VF Barcelona have reduced contributions very substantially. Thus, World Vision International USA contribution dropped from Rs 706 crs to Rs 198 crs; Gospel for Asia dropped from Rs 596 crs to Rs 233 crs.
Yet, total contributions received into India from the U.S. in the two years referred to above is about the same, so the probability of routing money through other organizations seems a distinct possibility and needs to be investigated. Largest donors were Gospel for Asia Inc USA Rs 233 crs, Fundacion Vicente Ferrer, Barcelona, Spain Rs 229 crs, World Vision Global Centre, USA 198 crs, Compassion International USA Rs 132 crs.

Under Section 14 of FCRA, the book of accounts and records of 12 associations out of 38,436 were inspected by officials of the MHA. This is highly inadequate and is a reflection of the importance Government attaches to monitoring how foreign contributions are utilized.
