NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR COMMUNAL HARMONY : An autonomous organization under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.

National Foundation for Communal Harmony Communal Harmony Campaign Week & Flag Day
The  National  Foundation  for  Communal  Harmony  (NFCH)  observes  Communal
Harmony Campaign and Fund Raising Week every year from 19th to 25th November and the last working day of this week is observed as the Flag Day.

NFCH  was  set  up in  1992  with  the  main  objective  of providing  assistance  to  the children rendered orphan or destitute during various communal disturbances. The sole purpose of setting up the Foundation was explained in the budget speech made by the then Finance Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh (at present the Hon’ble Prime Minister) in the Parliament during 1992. He said that …if interest of these children is not protected,they will grow up into disgruntled and disorganized adulthood. He further said:

“They become an easy prey to the propaganda of anti-social elements and the obscurantist fundamentalist forces of reaction. To protect the interest of such children, look after their welfare and in particular their education, the Government proposes to set up a National Foundation for  Communal  Harmony  as  an  autonomous  non-government organisation.”


The Foundation received a corpus of Rs. 11 crore with the direction to use only the interest earned on the said amount and the balance requirement of funds to be raised through donations, to meet the expenses. In view of this, it was decided in 1992 to organize  communal  harmony  campaign  week  in which  an appeal  is also made  for raising funds for the purpose.


The communal harmony campaign week has two fold objectives:
(i) to raise donations for the physical & psychological support of the orphan or the destitute children affected by violence; and
(ii) to promote brotherly and friendly relations among the people, maintain peace & communal harmony and national integration.


The  Foundation  distributes  publicity  material  to  all  the  States  /  UTs,  Ministries  /Departments,  central  public  sector  undertakings,  para-military  organisations,universities, selected educational institutions and embassies & missions abroad, etc. to observe the Communal Harmony Campaign.
During the Communal Harmony Campaign week, few child victims of violence from different  States,  assisted  by  the  Foundation  are  invited  to  Delhi  to  share  their experiences which promote communal harmony & national integration. These children also pin up flags  on the person of the dignitaries  such as the President, the VicePresident, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. These children are also taken for
local site seeing in Delhi and nearby historical places.


NFCH looks forward for cooperation and participation by every person and section of the society during the Communal Harmony Campaign and Flag Day for the noble cause.


Suggested steps to be taken for observing the Communal Harmony Campaign, the Fund Raising Week and the Flag Day :
(i) Organizing intensive campaign and wide publicity for sensitizing people for fostering communal  harmony  and  national  integration  through  cultural  programmes,  debates,seminars, workshops, essay/painting competitions etc.;

World Bank Support 

The World Bank is supporting the Government of India in its efforts to achieve this national goal. At a meeting between the Minister of State (independent charge) for Environment & Forests, Jairam Ramesh, and the President of the World Bank Robert Zoellick in December 2009, it was agreed that the Bank would provide long-term support to the NGRBA Program, which will include developing and strengthening the institutions needed to implement it, and financing priority infrastructure investments.

The $1.556 billion National Ganga River Basin Project, with $1 billion in financing from the World Bank Group, including $199 million interest-free IDA credit and $801 million low-interest IBRD loan, was approved by the Bank's Board of Executive Directors on 31 May 2011 and will be implemented over eight years. The Project will support the National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) in:

Building the capacity of its nascent operational-level institutions so that they can manage the long-term Ganga clean-up and conservation program.

Apart from dedicated operational-level institutions at the Central and state level, the Project will also help the NGRBA set up a state-of-the-art Ganga Knowledge Centre to act as a repository for knowledge relevant for the conservation of the Ganga.

While NGRBA will fund investments (like sewage treatment plants, sewer networks etc) that are critical for reducing pollution in the Ganga, it is the cities and municipalities that will have to be responsible for managing and maintaining them in the long run. The Project will help build the capacity of city-level service providers responsible for running these assets and also modernize their systems for doing so.

The Project will also help strengthen the Central and State Pollution Control Boards for better monitoring the pollution in the Ganga, by modernizing their information systems and providing staff training. The Project will also finance the upgradation of the Ganga water quality monitoring system, as well as carry out an inventory of all the sources of pollution that affect water quality in the Ganga.

One of the reasons why earlier efforts to clean the Ganga did not take root was the lack of public participation. The various stakeholders, including the communities living along the river, the pilgrims, and the industries located in the river catchment did not fully appreciate the need for changing everyday practices that were polluting the river. The Project will help the NGRBA devise and implement communications programs to encourage people to participate in the clean-up program.

Implementing some demonstrative investments for reducing point-source pollution at priority locations on the Ganga. The Project will finance pilots for new technologies or implementation arrangements, which could be transformative if successful and replicated on scale. The individual investments will be selected in accordance with the Framework for investments developed for the NGRBA Program.
