The editorial entitled 'Conditions of transparency in gas supply program' published in Kantipur on January 29 was correct.

Because national-international non-governmental organizations have reached every province and most of the municipalities and worked. The news that the study of the business of all non-governmental organizations spending up to 71 billion a year is going to be started has already arrived. In addition, the conditions of transparency in the program of gasses have been broken.

Even in Nepal, Gasus affiliated with various countries and regions, including European as a whole, has been conducting annual programs with the approval of the Social Welfare Council and Finance. Last year, more than 135 international non-governmental organizations and more than 57 thousand national non-governmental organizations were registered. What are these organizations doing in a country with a population of 3 million? Are the registered organizations active for the welfare of the country and people or in other work? What kind of impact has his work had on which provinces/municipalities of the country? The state has no knowledge of the ulterior motives and interests.

National and international non-governmental organizations have conducted projects worth more than 3 trillion rupees after getting the program approved by the Social Welfare Council for the last 9 years. Although they were approved to carry out programs worth about 24 billion rupees last year alone, there is no government mechanism to monitor their programs and expenses. Samaj Kalyan Parishad registers/approves any project.

However, even though it is late, the government has decided to study the cost and effectiveness of all the gasses, it can be expected that transparency and purification of the dimensions related to this can be done by showing priority for studying the investment/expenses and the returns of all the projects operated and spent through gasses. A serious study will open the way for new studies on the role of such institutions.

The money that enters the country in the name of grant is extracted from the labor and skills of the donor country and people and is spent for the people of the receiving country, so it should be spent within the national interests and priorities. Therefore, the state should formulate a clear policy, program, budget monitoring, effectiveness studies should be regularized, all organizations and their expenses should be continuously reviewed by adopting a one-door system, organizations that record and monitor expenses, activities that are contrary to the agreement should be abolished, be liberal only for the right work, and stick to the fact that the appointed manpower should be based on merit and not on the basis of gender and religion.
