Shiksha Kosh was launched in January this year to keep a check

Sabha that the funds donated for private educational

"Our government has done a lot for the benefit of
madarsas", Minister of State for Human Resource Development
Vallabbhai Kathiria told R P Goenka (Congress) during question
hour, adding any doubt of the member was unfounded.
He said organisations, institutions or bodies which
receive donations or grants from external sources (other than
government support) for education and research activities
shall get such donations or grants routed through the Bharat
Shiksha Kosh.
This does not apply to funds given to private educational
institutions, the minister said adding the affairs of the Kosh
are reviewed at meetings of the board of governors.
