Oxfam India is FULLY compliant with Indian laws and has filed all its statutory compliances, including Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) returns, in a timely manner since its inception. Oxfam India has been cooperating with all government agencies since its FCRA registration wasn't renewed in December 2021.
We have filed a plea in the Delhi High Court against the decision to not renew our FCRA registration. The High Court has asked the Union government to respond to our plea.
In times of growing inequality and greater need for action on poverty eradication, Oxfam India has been and will continue to work in PUBLIC AND NATIONAL interest. Oxfam India believes this is our constitutional duty as an organisation, irrespective of obstacles and hurdles in the path

This problem was further exacerbated for tribal students who further faced the challenge with regard to the language of instruction used for classes that were being broadcast.
