Dimapur | March 4 : The Central Social Welfare Board has blacklisted at total of 78 Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in Nagaland for reasons of a range of irregularities in various socio-economic programs. The Central Social Welfare Board said the 78 NGOs were blacklisted for “non-refund” of loans and also failing to submit audit accounts.
The Central Social Welfare Board has separate state-wise lists for all NGOs who have been blacklisted. The chart can be viewed at http://cswb.gov.in/. Nagaland showed 78 NGOs from most of the districts of Nagaland.
