India to contribute ₹3.3 crore to UN emergency response fund
India on Tuesday announced it will contribute ₹3.3 crore to the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for the year 2016-17 "despite (its) own resource constraints". India's cumulative contribution since the fund was launched in 2006 now stands at ₹40 crore. Notably, 29 countries promised ₹1,851 crore to the CERF after outgoing Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made a plea for funds.
