99% NGOs are fraud, money-making devices: HC

The Delhi high court has called for toughening of licensing norms for NGOs observing that 99% of them are "fraud" and "merely money making devices".

"Most private run so called philanthropic organizations do not understand their social responsibilities. 99% of the existing NGOs are fraud and simply moneymaking devices. Only one out of every hundred NGOs serve the purpose they are set up for", a bench headed by Justice Pradeep Nandrajog said.

"There is a need for toughening of licensing norms and legislature has to keep this in mind", the bench said.

The stinging remarks came while the court was hearing a petition filed by children homes Chatravas and Arya orphanage challenging government's refusal to grant them license under the Women and Children's Institutions (Licensing) Act, 1956 and insisting on registration under the Juvenile Justice Act.

The Delhi government and union women and child development ministry opposed the plea saying that all children homes in the country have to be registered under the JJ Act 2006 which subject them to supervision, monitoring and periodic inspections by child welfare committee of the government even if they have licenses under any other law.

Arguing for the homes, senior lawyer Maninder Singh said "an institution which has licence under the Women and Children's Institutions (Licensing) Act, 1956 did not require registration under the JJ Act.

"The JJ Act has its own field and does not override the women and children's institutions act. Moreover JJ Act is not applicable to independent private philanthropic institutions but for those run by government", argued Singh.

The stand of the centre was that a clear policy framework for the entire country has been laid out and Women and Children Institutions (Licensing) Act has no value as it stood repealed even since the JJ Act came into being in 2006. But Singh said the option should be licensing under Women and Children's Institutions (Licensing) Act or Orphanage and other charitable institutions Act even if the JJ Act was applicable in a state.

Cue the #AdarshLiberals to start ranting against the Delhi Highcourt

A Comment on the report

Surprised how the Delhi HC derived this
magical figure???? if you know kindly mail me info@dnrf.org. A highest constitutional body making such statement without any proof. Can HC produce proof?. A irresponsible statement by court is very unfortunate. Have these people been ever seen the apathy of ground and how NGOs are coping with them. Govt/ politicians are eating total welfare scheme. I am challenging everyone who are making such statement to proof that 99% NGOs are fraud. Corporate are shipping trillion of trillion money from this country but BJP and Cong both are supporting. All fraud may be NGO, Corporate, Judges should behind bar but making such hypothetical statement is very sad. The fact is that some NGOs has become great hurdle in organised corruption. 50% of grants sanctioned to NGOs are first eaten by govt. official in chain process in very organised manner if NGO will fight, NGO will be blacklisted. Just go through the acts all (more than 90%) acts made are before 1947 that was meant for "slave country" to rule and plunder the India by Britishers.

The GoI, IB and now judiciary are on the same page- NGOs need to be curtailed and most need to be crushed.

Most NGOs do nothing but oppose building of Dams, Nuclear Power Plants, Land acquisition for Industrial Development.

They just use poor idiots for cannon fodder just to serve their agenda

This government will shut each and every such anti national activity, now its turn to shut these foreign funding news channels.

He's just a ranting crybaby. He'll vanish straight into oblivion in sometime just the way he rose into prominence.

I like the way he makes it a point of 'Do it, or else..'.

It is always such a polite way of getting things done.

This is what India wants; a ruler who can get things done rather than scratch his head with complexly worded policies and paperwork or even consult a corrupt party head.
