Patnaik action calls for a round of applause, as Odisha steps in with aid to Missionaries of Charity

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik sanctioning Rs 78.76 lakh from the CM’s Relief Fund to institutions run by Missionaries of Charity comes as a relief

The Union Home Ministry’s Christmas day decision to reject a request from the renowned Missionaries of Charity to receive funds from donors abroad had come as a bolt to all who knew the charity organisation that has been functioning in India since very long. All who are familiar with the organisation founded by Nobel laureate Mother Teresa would agree that it has been working towards wiping tears of the hapless and abandoned.

But then, when the Home Ministry rejected the request, the Missionaries of Charity was left with no other option but to hope for a reversal in decision at the Union government level. That was not to come by, though. The Ministry’s stance was that non-profits, if they are to use such funds, would have to get clearance under the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act, or FCRA. It is a known fact that the plea by the Missionaries of Charity to renew licence in this regard had also been rejected.

Patnaik intervenes to help charity

Though based in Kolkata, West Bengal, the organisation has found a helping hand from neighbouring Odisha. The philanthropic non-profit body operates a good number of leprosy homes and orphanages in the state. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s office has announced that an amount of Rs 78.76 lakh from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund to as many as 13 institutions run by the charity in the state of Odisha.
