A
NCCI delegation met the senior Congress leader and Defence Minister in
the UPA government at the centre Mr A. K. Antony on Friday 3rd August
2007 regarding the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Bill, 2006. The
NCCI delegation highlighted the contradictions in the implementation of
government policies since some provisions of the Foreign
Contribution (Regulation) Bill, 2006 restrict developmental initiatives
of the voluntary sector including church related institutions. Instead
of creating enabling environment as stated in the National Policy on
Voluntary Sector, subjective and selective interpretation of the
provisions of the FCR Bill 2006 has the potential to interfere with and
curb the programmes and activities committed to the wellbeing of the
Indian citizens. The NCCI delegation which met the Defence Minister included Rev. Dr. Enos Das Pradhan, General Secretary, CNI Synod and Chairman, NCCI Commission on Polity and National Governance, Mrs. Sharada M. Rao, Vice President, NCCI, Bishop S.S. Singh of MCI, Delhi, Rev. Jayan Thomas of Mar Thoma Church, Delhi, Mr. Joselyn Martins, FCA, Mr. Sanjay Patra, FCA, and Mr. S. Raju, NCCI Delhi. |
