00:00There has been a big India Today investigation on the USAID funding.

00:04The probe revealed that as many as eight implementing partners received $14.1 million under the

00:10purpose of democratic participation and civil society.

00:14These include the National Democratic Institute, which received the largest share of $7.6 million

00:19amongst the eight partners in four different installments, consecutively between 2021 and

00:252024.
