Autonomous Bodies are set up whenever it
is felt that certain functions need to be discharged outside
the governmental set up with some amount of independence
and flexibility without day-to-day interference of the Governmental
machinery. These are set up by the Ministries/Departments
concerned with the subject matter and are funded through
grants-in-aid, either fully or partially, depending on the
extent which such institutes generate internal resources
of their own. These grants are regulated by the Ministry
of Finance through their instructions as well as the instructions
relating to powers for creation of posts and etc. They are
mostly registered as societies under the Societies Registration
Act and in certain cases they have been set up as statutory
institutions under the provisions contained in various Acts.
