In a letter to chief minister Tarun Gogoi, the North Eastern Economical Development Society (Needs) on Wednesday demanded the state government to conduct a thorough investigation into the workings of all NGOs and financial organizations in the state by December 31.
Amardeep Paul, founder of Needs, said several fake NGOs and financial institutions have come into existence in the city and are committing fraud. "In the name of special schemes, innocent people are being cheated of their herd-earned money. We want the government to look into the workings of all NGOs in the state and find out their authenticity," he said.
Tanya Bhattacharya, a Needs activist, said, "We are a genuine organization, yet people are apprehensive in trusting us because they feel most of the NGOs are fake. Our purpose is to bring about transparency in the workings of the various organizations."
"We do not believe in pointing fingers at any particular group, so we want the investigation to start from our organization." He said if the government fails to take any action in the next two months, the Needs will start its own investigation.
The NGO has been regularly organizing awareness camps for the prevention of AIDS and cancer. It has also conducted various constructive camps for the differently-abled people.
