Meghalaya Govt Establishes FCRA Cell in Home Department to Coordinate with Centre

The Meghalaya government has decided to set up a dedicated FCRA cell within its Home Department to better coordinate with the central government on matters related to foreign contributions. The new cell will handle applications, approvals and compliance checks for NGOs and other entities seeking foreign funding. By centralising these functions, the state aims to reduce delays and improve transparency in the approval process. Officials say the move will also help ensure that foreign contributions are used in line with national regulations and state priorities.
