The Meghalaya government, led by Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, has announced the creation of a dedicated FCRA cell to resolve issues related to Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act renewals and applications.
The Meghalaya administration has unveiled plans to set up a dedicated Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) cell aimed at simplifying the renewal and application processes for NGOs and charitable organisations.
The new cell will serve as a single point of contact for all FCRA-related queries, ensuring timely processing of renewal applications and addressing common bottlenecks faced by applicants.
Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said the initiative would reduce administrative delays and improve transparency, thereby encouraging more organisations to comply with the Act’s requirements.
The government will also provide guidelines and training for staff handling FCRA matters, according to statements released by the department.
