  The newly created US Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE has been auditing several government agencies in the US and cutting wasteful expenditure.

The article from NDTV discusses how the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) allocated $21 million to India to enhance voter turnout, particularly among marginalized communities, through a program named 'Voter Awareness and Education'. This initiative was part of a broader effort to strengthen democratic processes in India. The funds were channeled through various NGOs and were aimed at increasing voter registration, education, and participation. However, the program has stirred controversy, with critics questioning the appropriateness of foreign funding in India's electoral processes, suggesting it might influence or interfere with national sovereignty. The article also mentions that the funding was part of a larger $350 million aid package to India, which has been under scrutiny for its implications on India's internal affairs.
