Government cancels licences of 8,975 NGOs

The Centre has cancelled the licences of 8,975 NGOs for failing to file annual returns for three years, days after suspending foreign funding of Greenpeace India and putting Ford Foundation on its watchlist. The order issued on Sunday said 10,343 NGOs last October were told to file returns within a month, specifying the amount of foreign funds received, their sources and purpose. But only 229 reverted to the home ministry , forcing it to cancel the licences.
