Huge Foreign Fund of Public of foreign Countries for KIIT, KISS and KRCT

Within last 10 years, a sum of Rs. 20 crores  received  as foreign contribution  by KIIT, KISS, KRCT.

Dear  friends

Earlier in many times,  I have pointed  out  that KIIT ( Kalinga Institute  of  Industrial Technology) , KISS( Kalinga Institute  of  Social Science)   is  managed  and funded  by  public  in form of  Govt. fund  and  foreign fund  supported  by  the  people  of  foreign countries. So, as  it is  public  fund, it  must  be open  for  public scrutiny / public audit and  these  Institutions  must come  under ambit  of RTI Act. So that  utmost  transparency  and  accountability  can be enforced  in better management  and greater  interest  of  tribal children.  The  public  has also  right  to see  how their  fund  being properly  utilized  or not under RTI. But  the  authority  of KIIT and KISS  has been  repeatedly  denying  the  information under RTI Act.

 Finding  repeated  denial of  information from KISS and KIIT, RTI Application was  filed  to  the CPIO, Ministry of  Home affairs, Govt. of India  seeking  information about  details of  foreign  fund  received by KISS and KIIT  from 2007-18 ( year-wise).  At  first the CPIO  denied  to  provide  the information. However, after direction of Central Information Commission,  the CPIO  has supplied the  information  on 12.6.19.  In the meantime, from  the  information supplied by the CPIO, it  was discovered  that  Sri Achyut Samant  has  another NGO  called Kalinga Relief  and Charitable Trust ( KRCT)  registered  under FCR Act.  Under KCRT, Tribal  School was being managed  and foreign fund was mobilized  for  the  school. But  from 2014-15, KISS entered  into  picture  and foreign  contribution was made  to KISS.

The details  of foreign fund  contributed  to KISS, KIIT  and KCRT  is as follows.
