Hyderabad: M V Foundation, a non-governmental organisation headed by Magsaysay award-winner Shanta Sinha, has been charged with misappropriation of funds and giving a false report of its achievements.
The allegations have been made in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, which was tabled in the Assembly on Thursday.
The report targets some NGOs, especially M V Foundation that is known for its work in enrolling child workers in schools, and Shanta Sinha won the coveted award for her work in this field.
In the chapter on Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA), the report notes that an amount of Rs 33.95 lakh was paid to the foundation towards 'identification and mainstreaming' of out-of-school children in East Godavari district.
âAs against 18,379 out-of-school children identified and to be mainstreamed to regular schools, only 7,375 children were found to be mainstreamed,'' it states.
