Bhubaneswar: Head of Minister of Naveen Patnaik on Thursday asked the district collectors to come into regularly with the organization run by charity missionaries, a philanthropic organization based in Kolkata, which was founded by the mother Teresa.
Naveen also directs the district region to ensure that there are no prisoners of these organizations who suffer, especially from food security and health-related distress due to lack of funds.
“Everywhere it is needed, the funds from the Minister of Public Chief Assistance (CMRF) can be used for this purpose,” said the ministerial head.
The movement of the state government assumed that the significance after Amal missionaries recently asked for the center not to operate one of the foreign contribution accounts (FC) as an action to ensure that there was no hose.
The move was followed after the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) refused to approve the renewal of foreign contribution (FCRA) from charity missionaries, saying it did not meet the conditions of feasibility.
Kolkata-based organizations that have arrived in Odisha in 1974 operated 13 centers for patients who were sick, scratched, elderly, leprosy, mental disabilities and orphans.
These include three each at Khurda and Kandhamal, two in Sundargarh, each at Ganjam, Sambalpur, Mayurbhanj, Ladydom and Craft.
Nearly one 1,000 marginalized and underprivileged inmates, including children, are part of these organizations.
There are four to five other small centers in other districts, officials said.
The district administration has also prepared to follow the direction of the minister’s chairman to expand assistance to these organizations.
“We immediately cheered and supplied rations and daily necessities at least for the next 15 days.
The building block officer concerned has been asked to visit these organizations regularly to understand their problems.
We will continue to offer all their help need until their account is restored, “said Khurda District Mohapatra Sangram.
