Have you heard about SRIJAN scam

Well we can understand that there are too many scams for us to remember, but here is yet another scam that has to be noted down. There used to be an NGO in Bihar named Srijan Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti. The NGO used to impart vocational training to women. Sound good! But here is the loophole- the samithi was able to acquire crores of government funds in the pretext of welfare funding. Almost 880 crores of rupees of money is estimated to be involved in the scam. As the bank officials too were involved in the scam, it’s not surprising that the scam was overlooked for almost a decade (2004-2013). Now the CBI is slowly registering the cases against the culprits. Yesterday it has registered four more cases against the office bearers of Srijan Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti, officials of the Bank of Baroda and Indian Bank and others for alleged misuse of government funds.
