Shame

And they run an NGO that holds education programmes for poor children in villages. If this is what they do in mid-air, I wonder what they do on ground! People should be careful about NGOs. The good ones like Ramakrishna Mission, Bharat Sebashram Sangha etc. are few. The rest are in money making business. This is because a big vaccum is created by non-functioning of Govt. youth wings like NSS (National Service Scheme), NCC (National Cadet Corps) etc. Let us make them active. Let us not give space to vested interests and NGOs like these. The TOI news as published today follows.
