BANGALORE: Iskcon has come clean in implementation of the Akshara Dasoha (mid-day meal) programme in Karnataka.

The legislature committee hasn’t found any fault with Iskcon, be it in utilization of government grants, collection of foreign funds or real estate business. Congress MLA D K Shiva Kumar, during the legislature session on July 23, 2009, had charged Iskcon with misusing funds. The government then constituted a committee headed by MLA Yogish Bhat, which tabled its report in the assembly on Tuesday.

The findings said Akshaya Patra Foundation is spending more money for the Akshara Dasoha scheme than what it gets as grant from the government. The accounts have been verified. There is no proof to suggest any misuse of government funds.
