The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 and rules framed under it (the “FCRA” or “Act”) regulate the receipt and usage of foreign contribution by non-governmental organisations (“NGOs”) in India.
The intent of the Act is to prevent use of foreign contribution or foreign hospitality for any activity detrimental to the national interest.
It has a very wide scope and is applicable to a natural person, body corporate, all other types of Indian entities (whether incorporated or not) as well as NRIs and overseas branches/subsidiaries of Indian companies and other entities formed or registered in India.
It is implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.

In order to achieve the above objective, the Act:
1.Prohibits acceptance and use of foreign contribution or foreign hospitality by a certain specified category of persons such as a candidate for election, judge, journalist, columnist, newspaper publication, cartoonist and others.
2. Regulates the inflow to and usage of foreign contribution by NGOs by prescribing a mechanism to accept, use and report usage of the same.

Strait of Hormuz is a strait between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea.
It is surrounded by countries like Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Oman and UAE.
About 20% of the world’s petroleum, and about 35% of the petroleum traded by sea, passes through the strait making it a highly important strategic location for international trade.
Most crude exported from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Kuwait and Iraq — all members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries — is shipped through the waterway.
It is also the route used for nearly all the liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced by the world’s biggest LNG exporter, Qatar.

Thrissur Pooram is considered as the mother of all temple festivals.
‘Thechikottukavu Ramachandran’, the controversial elephant which was earlier denied permission to take part in the festivities by the authorities on health grounds, ‘opened’ the annual festival at the ancient Vadakkumnathan temple here.
Thrissur Pooram is an annual Hindu temple festival held in Kerala, India.
It is held at the Vadakkunnathan Temple in Thrissur every year on the Pooram day – the day when the moon rises with the Pooram star in the Malayalam Calendar month of Medam.
It is the largest and most famous of all poorams.
This spectacular event was started by Sakthan Thampuran, the erstwhile ruler of Kochi.
The pooram festival mainly happens between two groups representing the geographic divisions of Paramekkavu and Thiruvambadi.
They will compete in their respective presentations of richly caparisoned elephants, traditional orchestra called panchavadyam, the swift and rhythmic changing of brightly coloured and sequined parasols called kudamattam and the dazzling fireworks in the early morning hours are the festival highlights.
