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'?

In Boondein, a coffee table book published by NISA, we have journeyed to four states and visited a number of budget private schools with diverse financial and social structures. Forty five stories of fortitude and commitment of parents, teachers, students and school owners have been presented, which capture and showcase the essence of these schools, why parents prefer these schools to their government counterparts, what made these edupreneurs start these schools; building evidence for their relevance and acknowledging their contribution in achieving universal education and schooling for all children in India.
