HRD blacklists  AXX?
Our Bureau
NEW  DELHI/GUWAHATI, Aug 13: The Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD)  blacklisted the Axom Xahitya Xabha (AXX), along with 30 other NGOs for, what the  Ministry called, non-submission of audited accounts/fund utilization  certificates etc. 
Replying to an unstarrted question in the Rajya Sabha  today, HRD Minister of State D Purandeswari said that during the last two years  the Ministry had blacklisted as many as 31 NGOs for their non-existence or  non-functioning, non-submission of audited accounts, fund utilization  certificates etc.
Meanwhile, when contacted AXX president Kanaksen Deka said:  “The Government of India has not paid a single paisa to the AXX, and as such it  has no right to blacklist the premier literary body of Asom”. He, however, said  the AXX gets Rs 4 lakh to Rs 6 lakh annually from the State Government, but for  that the AXX does not need to submit any audited account to the  Government.
Deka, however, expressed his ignorance about the Centre  blacklisting the AXX. 
The other NGOs from the Asom and Nagaland that have  been blacklisted by the Ministry are Urvashi Rashtrabhasa Prachar Vidyalaya,  Assam, and Prantiya Kamaj Kalyan, Kimin, Nagaland.
