Foreign funding to India’s non-profit sector is drawing attention even as the number of registered NGOs has fallen sharply in the last decade.
According to the report highlighted in the video, the NGO count has dropped to nearly half over 10 years, yet foreign contributions are described as surprisingly high.
The discussion centres on the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) framework, including how foreign funds are received and monitored under FCRA rules.
It also points to the role of the Ministry of Home Affairs in regulating foreign contributions and the broader impact of FCRA-related changes on NGOs.
The video frames the trend as a key question for the social sector—why inflows appear strong despite fewer organisations operating under the system.
