Why india won’t accept foreign donations for Kerala

HIGHLIGHTS

  • While India was extremely grateful for the offers, its own resources would be used to rebuild Kerala
  • This does not, however, extend to private contributions pouring in from all over the world
  • During the Uttarakhand floods in 2013, the UPA government too politely refused foreign aid
NEW DELHI: India will not accept the generous help that has been offered by foreign governments after the floods in Kerala. The UAE, Qatar and Maldives have all pledged assistance to India for relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction in the state.

But high-level sources said that while India was extremely grateful for the offers, its own resources would be used to rebuild Kerala. India will say "thank you" but "no thank you" as internal resources are mobilized. This does not, however, extend to private contributions pouring in from all over the world, given the huge diaspora from Kerala.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the 
UAE's PM, offered almost Rs 700 crore to Kerala 
. It was seen as an acknowledgment of the connection between Dubai and Kerala as well as the close ties between UAE and India. In a tweet, PM Modi thanked the ruler of Dubai. Kerala CM Vijayan also offered fulsome gratitude.

Qatar has offered almost Rs 35 crore
while Maldives, a country with which India's ties have nosedived recently, stepped up with an offer of $50,000. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also landed up at the United Nation's doorstep in Geneva to ask for aid.

That was unlikely to go anywhere, because the request has to come from the Indian government.
India's stance is not new or unique. Even during the Uttarakhand floods in 2013, the UPA government too politely refused foreign aid.

Get Extra UC In PUBG When You Purchase Using Paytm.

  Paytm has up with Tencent Games to give users extra UC, PUBG Mobile’s in-game currency, when you buy UC using Paytm. The offer was revealed in an email from the company, and it lets you buy UC from the official PUBG Mobile website using your Paytm account. Once you visit the link, just enter you in-game ID which is seen in your profile, and you will be able to add UC to your PUBG Mobile account. This method gives you a few more UC than what you get for the same amount in the game. For example, you can get 75 UC for Rs 79 using Paytm as seen below, while the in-game purchase only gives you 60 UC for the same price. For larger purchases, Paytm is giving even more bonus UC – you can get extra 110 UC using Paytm when buying the Rs 799 pack, which gives you enough UC to buy the Royale Pass.
