Punjab Baitul Maal Minister Chaudhry Mohammad Ejaz Shafi has said the government will provide all out assistance and grant to the NGOs for the launching of health, education and other public welfare-oriented projects.
He, however, said he will not allow any NGO to misuse the grant given by the Baitul Maal department, and the accounts of NGOs will be checked regularly. He expressed these views during his surprise visit to the offices of various NGOs in the city.
The minister was accompanied by Social Welfare Director-General Raees Abbas Zaidi besides the officials of Baitul Maal department.
He checked the use of grant being provided by the Punjab Baitul Maal department and directed the NGOs renewal of registration every year so that grant could be provided to them.
The minister said that Baitul Maal grant could be utilised for the specific purposes, and not be spent for other purposes.
