Modi Govt banned Social Work?
The Union home Ministry has suspended the licenses of 6,000 companies, including Oxfam India, delhi Jamia Millia University, delhi IIT, and the Medical Association of India, for failing to renew their FCRA licenses. As a result, these businesses were unable to raise funds from outside the country. Oxfam India's CEO, amitabh Behr, said in a statement:
Our organization's accreditation for abroad funding has been declined by the federal government. We will not be swayed from our resolve to serve the community's marginalized people by the government's decision, and will instead rely on the Constitution's ideals. We will shortly approach the Union home Ministry, requesting that the restriction be lifted, stating that we need to assist marginalized people in times of epidemic and that they should anticipate our assistance. The embargo has had an impact on our humanitarian aid and services in 16 states."
