TweetChat: ‘Should government regulate foreign funding for NGOs?'

Event Date: 25 Jun 2014; Time: 7-8 pm
Venue: (tweetchat.com #ccstalks)

The Intelligence Bureau has submitted a report stating that there are a number of NGOs receiving foreign funding for activities that are impeding economic growth. Should the government set stricter rules in place regarding foreign-funding and regulate the purpose for which it can enter? Or should NGOs/civil society organisations be allowed to accept funding for any purpose, even those considered 'anti-growth'?

Researching Reality Internship 2014

Event Date: 04 Jun To 18 Jul 2014; Time: N/A
Venue: CCS Office, New Delhi

Researching Reality Internship is for college students and researchers who wish to apply social and economic principles to real-life problems through in-depth research projects. It provides interns with valuable training in areas of research, analysis, writing, and above all critical thinking. Interns study various agencies, boards, corporations, departments, schemes and programs of the state governments and Municipal Corporations; evaluating existing systems to recommend sustainable and long-term policy improvements in the functioning of government structures. The objective of the internship is to further citizens’ understanding of the workings of the government and encourage greater independent fact-based qualitative and quantitative research so that the next time citizens demand better governance, they can back their claims.
