I donn understand whats our government is looking when people are freely preaching religion. This could bring worst consequences to the society by increasing turmoil and chaos when one religion claims to be better by claiming other ppl worship pagean deities. Nepal has always been a peaceful country in terms ofic religious harmony and i donn wanna c any anybody spreading the seeds for hatred. All foreign organisation with religious motive should be banned. I hope government takes some initiative to stop this preaching thing. Nepal is not a Hindu kingdom any more but that doesnot mean anybody can come n preach their freaking religion by saying "Nepalese worship fake Gods" . Let everybody live their own way.   I donn think if i m too conservative but i donn like missionary cause they are just selling their religion to poor,vulnerable people. Nepal stands in the world as an emblem of unique culture and tradition. If this encroachment continues we will have nothing to identify ourselves.   


15 percent INGOs preaching religion: SWC

Monday, 05 April 2010 02:33

As much as 15 percent of the International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGO)s working in Nepal are engaged in preaching their religion in various ways, Rastriya Samachar Samiti reported quoting Social Welfare Council officials. 

Social Welfare Council has said, it has received information that some INGOs, which took permission from the SWC to carry out various developmental projects in Nepal, preach their religion in various ways like forcing them to convert religion to secure a job, conducting prayers during office hours and providing information about the religion during official trainings.

According to the existing constitutional provisions, an individual is free to practice (or not practice) any religion by his/her choice, but is not allowed to ‘influence’ another person to convert religion. 

Article 23 of the Interim Constitution 2063 mentions, no one can make another person convert his/her religion and do anything that affects another person’s religion. 

The practice of preaching religion in the name of conducting developmental activities has increased further, after Nepal got transformed to a secular state from a Hindu state.

SWC does not give permission to an INGO to operate if preaching religion is mentioned as one of the objectives of the organisation. 

According to SWC treasurer Ratna Bahadur Gahamagar, although unofficial complaints about religious preaching is rising, SWC has not taken action against any INGOs as no one has filed an official complaint.

Gahamagar also said, Nepal receives about Rs 17 billion every year through such INGOs. But, source and expenditure of the amount is not properly audited due to lack of proper regulations. 

There are 246 INGOs registered with SWC, out of which 46 are inactive.nepalnews.com
