Ultimate bad journalism is pretending that public welfare becomes illegitimate simply because you dislike the ideological leanings of the volunteers delivering it.
The latest attempt to sensationalize ONGC's CSR allocations is a textbook example of shifting the goalposts. Let's look at the facts instead of the headlines.
First, the premise itself is flawed. The RSS, as a voluntary socio cultural movement, is not the legal recipient of these funds. Organisations such as Sewa Bharati, Ekal Vidyalaya and other affiliated institutions are independently registered trusts and societies with their own governing bodies, statutory registrations, PAN numbers and audited accounts. They are separate legal entities fully eligible to implement CSR projects.
Second, this is not discretionary political funding. Under Section 135 of the Companies Act, CSR spending by a Maharatna PSU like ONGC is governed by a strict legal framework. Funds are tied to approved projects, monitored throughout implementation and subject to statutory audits. If hundreds of crores had genuinely been siphoned off, regulators and auditors would have flagged it years ago. They haven't.
Third, ask where the money actually went.
A significant allocation funded the Swargadew Siu Ka Pha Multi Speciality Hospital in Assam, a 300 bed tertiary care hospital empanelled under Ayushman Bharat that serves tea garden workers, tribal communities and rural families. Other funds support Ekal Vidyalaya's schools in remote tribal regions and Sewa Bharati's hostels, health centres, disaster relief operations and community welfare programmes.
These are measurable outcomes, not political slogans.
There is a reason PSUs partner with such organisations. They have decades of experience delivering services in villages, tribal belts and border districts where many others simply do not operate. Development is not about announcements. It is about execution.
Demand accountability. Demand transparency. Demand better governance.
But branding legally compliant, independently audited CSR partnerships as "criminal" simply because you dislike the ideological ecosystem of the implementing organisations is not journalism. It is ideological prejudice masquerading as investigative reporting.
Your real target was never financial accountability. It was an ideology.
In the process, you are asking people to oppose hospitals treating the poor, schools educating tribal children, hostels housing underprivileged students and disaster relief reaching those in need, simply because you dislike the volunteers behind them.
If narratives like yours succeed, it will not be an ideology that pays the price. It will be lakhs of ordinary Indians who depend on these schools, hospitals and welfare programmes.
Before weaponising journalism to wage an ideological battle, ask yourself one question. Do you even understand what it is you are trying to destroy?
In all my years living in the West, holiday season was long and extended. Christmas time off started after the 15th of December and continued through the New Year. In China, Chinese New Year has a long holiday.
Unfortunately in India, Diwali holidays are usually 1 or 2 days in corporate offices. In years like this one when Diwali falls on a weekend, there is one day off. Many of us travel to be with families across the country, sometimes far and wide.
While we can take the days off, is there a care for a longer festive break, maybe a week long one, as a country, so we can enjoy the festive season and family time without counting days?

The calls for the Railway minister to resign have no merit. Such worthless symbolism is a relic of the past. The minister should start working with double the vigour and ensure the safety systems have a 100% coverage. The person who knows the most about the job and can get this done is him.
Sir @DrSJaishankar this is what happened with famous YouTuber @BeniwalParamvir when he went to immigration office in Nicaragua...
Most of Indians don't know that even this country exists.
Show them their place @MEAIndia
Unawareness is another Issue
Railway Stations with High Footfall needs a standee, posters, promotions etc along side Booking Counters
Eventually it’ll help Railways & Overburdened Employees only
Hope Hon’ble @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji & @RailMinIndia take this feedback
More than Hundred People in the Queue at the Railway Station to get the Unreserved Tickets
While the same can be booked on UTS App
Most of them have Smartphones, India still have the very long road for Digital India
I have a lot of regard for KL Rahul’s talent and ability, but sadly his performances have been well below par. A test average of 34 after 46 tests and more than 8 years in international cricket is ordinary. Can’t think of many who have been given so many chances. Especially..cont
Every CEO is always a salesperson. He/ she is constantly selling ...be it product to customers, vision to employees or company to investors. Never underestimate the importance of sales as a domain #foodforthought#Sales
SBI says SBICAP has revised the Suzlon disclosure
CORRECTION: Suzlon promoter creates additional pledge of 5.35% equity in favour of SBICAP Trustee, not Adani Green Energy. Total pledge in favour of SBICAP is increased to 9.92%

Just over a year ago, I valued Zomato, the Indian food-delivery company, at ₹41/share, ahead of its IPO, and argued that it was joint bet on Indian growth, Indian eating habits and Zomato's business model. In hindsight, I was both wrong and right. https://t.co/DWz0SQyVTA
