I am talking in general - your school and your hospital may be an exception. Schools run by christian charitable trusts are better but they receive grants and foreign aids too, the amount we would never know.
In Delhi - the best hospitals are government hospitals - they do not ask for unnecessary tests/medicines. Treatment even in charitable hospitals here is too costly compared to Government hospitals.
Those foreign aids are not given blindly.They come and inspect the work that is being done. No foreign aid agency is a fool that it gives funds blindly.They have to show how the money has been spent and show the evidence of that and of course they see the results the work too.
They either continue with the aid or raise it or stop the aid based on their own observations.
It is conditional for every rupee they give the people have to raise fifty paise or twenty five paise on their own through donations from local poeple if it is a school and our school used to collect rs 2 every year and they didn't have choice who to admit either.Our maid's children and we studied in the same school.😊The children who get into these schools are the same as govt schools.
As for hospitals the funds are not just given like a blank cheque they are given for projects and the work is evaluated regularly.By the way Christian organisations don't get funds as they used to before.Now most of them are run on the funds raised locally.It's misconception that christain organisations are run exclusively on foreign aids which is not true I can vouch for that.
I know for sure govt schools are not inspected neither govt hospitals are inspected nobody ever questions them.Nobody is there to ensure that funds allocated are utilesd properly.
I have seen govt run hostels and shelters too I know in what condition they are in.
My family has long history of association with NGOs and I have seen all kinds of people in these NGOs the good and bad
NGO are scrutinised and evaluated performance wise.So the chances for corruption are much less.
I have seen charity institutions close and the employees running them dealt with in a severe manner when found to be corrupt and if found to be inefficient they are demoted too.Nothing of that sort happens in govt agencies and that's the truth.
