COLLECTION OF DONATIONS FROM COMMERCIAL FIRMS

While there is no objection to stray local voluntary donations of small amount being received, it becomes an unhealthy practice if a regular collection drive is made for collecting donations from firms, specially those with whom the clubs/associations are having commercial transactions. It has, therefore, been decided that no Association/club receiving grants-in-aid from the Department of Personnel and Training should seek any donations or financial assistance from commercial firms particularly donations of substantial amount. There is no objection to the donations being received from members giving in their personal capacity but these should be accounted for.
