New Delhi, Jan. 29 -- The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has granted Andhra Pradesh's Sri Sarada Peetham the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) license, enabling the institution to accept donations and funding from international sources.

The approval comes days after the MHA extended a similar FCRA nod to Vrindavan's renowned Banke Bihari Temple. The move is expected to support the religious and charitable activities of the institution by facilitating overseas contributions.

Sri Sarada Peetham is among 91 such institutions that have been granted FCRA approval so far this year. ...
