Funds to NGOs for Tribal Development Programmes

The objective of partnership with Voluntary Organizations is to supplement Government efforts and to have a wider reach in implementing tribal welfare and development programmes. By implementing projects, Voluntary Organizations have been able to reach beneficiaries also in the remote tribal areas while adding to the coverage by the Government. As per the existing guidelines, it is permissible for NGOs to utilize upto Rs.10,000/- per annum for conveyance and Travelling Allowance for staff and upto Rs.15,000/- per annum for contingencies/office maintenance. All NGOs are required to submit their annual audited accounts where expenditure details are given. In case excess expenditure is reported on this account the amount is either not reimbursed or it is deducted from their entitlement as the case may be. At present there is no proposal to revise these guidelines.

NGO-wise detail of funds released during 2011-12 is given below:
