'Contribution' is nothing with substance- and that comes in $$$ terms.

India, is not even in the top 10.

How much does India Contribute?

According to the assessment made for the years 2016-18, India has to contribute 0.737% to the UN regular budget. This puts India in the 24th place in the list of highest contributors. Based on the assessment by the contributions committee, India’s contribution to the UN regular budget was fixed at 0.534% for 2009-12 and 0.666% for 2013-2015.

India’s contribution to the UN regular budget was 16.97 million dollars in 2012-13, 17.19 million dollars in 2013-14 and 18.07 million dollars in 2014-15. India’s actual share is 19.82 million dollars in 2014-15, but is given a credit of 1.74 million dollars for the income tax exemption extended by India for the UN staff working in India.

That's right, India does not even contribute 1% to the UN's budget.

Why not, how many countries from 200 on earth providing defense forces in lakhs to prevent attacks on those people who are not even related to their country, how many countries have taken the lead in providing the cheapest possible medical facilities on the ground to those who are not able to get it on their own due to multiple reasons. It's posted to show India's contribution to world bodies in the best possible way we can render assistance. Thank you.

Sorry India contributes more than the budget share, that was 38 million dollars for FY 2014-2015.

India gives the more than the obligation which is a good thing to do. Further India gives money in other ways as well like 3rd biggest contribution in United Nations Democracy Fund but I believe you wouldn't know that, Sir? 250 million dollars.
