What is Kashmir Care Foundation, US-based non-profit that 3 varsities cancelled MoUs with?

Three Indian universities have terminated their memorandums of understanding with the Kashmir Care Foundation, a US-based nonprofit organization. The cancellations follow scrutiny of the foundation's activities and objectives.

The universities involved are the University of Kashmir, the Central University of Kashmir, and the Islamic University of Science and Technology in Awantipora. They had signed MoUs with the foundation for academic and research collaborations.

Kashmir Care Foundation is registered in the United States and describes itself as a humanitarian organization focused on providing aid and education in the Kashmir region. However, its operations have drawn criticism from some quarters.

The foundation has not publicly commented on the cancellations. The universities have not provided detailed reasons for ending the agreements, but the moves come amid broader discussions about foreign funding and academic partnerships in India.
