Sir,
Money transfer from our foreign donor by mistake has been sent to another organization’s FC account as the wire transfer carried the other organization’s details instead of ours. How do we go about correcting this? Is it enough if the donor writes to the recipient and ask him to transfer the amount to us ? Will it be within the FCRA regulation? How can we correct this? The recipient will be ready to transfer/oblige.

My Quarry is that We are a small part of a big group called Rotary Dist. 3010.
Do we need to register ourselves on behalf of the individual capacity of our club.
In every individual Rotary Club The President is changed every Year & there is no permanent address of the club. Only the address of current club president is valid.
So how do we apply. We have to register ourselves every year ?
Rotary Club Of Delhi Capitol.

In our Country, major Banks in Private sector like ICICI, AXIS and HDFC have been in News for wrong reasons. MNBanks like HSBC have also been in the news for wrong reasons. Is it true that the Regulators cast a blind eye on them? Should NGOs join hands with them in their CSR efforts? Are our Regulators regulating themselves in favour of erring Banks !

My Query is:
If a NGO organize a workshop with the help of foreign organisation and the funds that comes through them in NGO’s bank (which has no FCRA) Will it be considered as a donation?
The foreign organisation has these funds as a grant from their country to conduct programmes in other countries.

Right to Education is creating its own problems. As the Govt’s sustained campaign to enhance attendance in schools is bringing over 90% of children to schools, predictably it is also creating infrastructural problems. At primary level currently there are 5.23 lakh of vacancies. This would almost double, i.e. another 5.1 lakh vacancies, if the Govt decides to implement the RTE norm of 30 students per teacher.
Not only this the standard of teachers currently employed are not as per norms set out. Presently 7.74 lakh teachers do not have necessary qualification or training. In fact present criteria for qualification for primary teachers is having passed Teachers’ Eligibility Test. To be eligible to sit for this examination, one needs to have passed XIIth examination and undertaken a 2 year diploma in Teachers’ education, however most states are finding it extremely difficult to get teachers with such qualifications. In fact WB Govt appoints teachers with Xth pass (Refer earlier blog post on SRRF Dialogue http://blog.srr-foundation.org/?p=424 ).
The problem is not limited to primary level, at secondary level, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan requires 1.79 lakh new teachers for English, Mathematics and science. The problem is getting further accentuated since the institutes providing Teachers’ Training has capacities of less than 30,000 per annum.
The issue is not just limited to shortage of teachers, there are constraints of space, several states are allowing schools to add floors to present buildings of schools. Refer earlier post on SRRF Dialogue on this subject http://blog.srr-foundation.org/?p=501 .
Let us all recognize that Govts (both at central level as well as at state levels), education authorities, school administrations are all facing huge challenges in complying with RTE, let all of us work together to ensure that future generations of India are not only literate but well educated.

Dear dialogue member,
We are a delhi based NGO. We have to apply for FCRA registration but our problem is one of our board member is away from Delhi for one year. He is doing MBA there. If we apply for registration whether it will be rejected on this ground or matter may get delayed due to police varification. Whether police verification will be done in both the places- Delhi and Ranchi?
Regards,
Yogendra Jha
