[MTC Global] Crackdown on foreign-funded groups hits universities


Some of India's premier educational institutions and universities find themselves on a government blacklist for non-compliance with regard to funds received by them under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, or FCRA.

In a continuing crackdown on the apparent misuse of foreign funds, the Ministry of Home Affairs, or MHA, while cancelling the licences of over 9,000 non-governmental organisations or NGOs, has also cancelled the FCRA registration of universities like the University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University or JNU, Panjab University and some branches of the Indian institutes of technology, among others.

Effect on universities

The FCRA cancellation at the universities and colleges is likely to affect fellowships that are offered for international seminars and programmes to students, as well as the memoranda of understanding, or MoUs, that each has signed with foreign universities or institutions. For example the University of Delhi has as many as 50 MoUs with various universities and these programmes may be affected.
