He received Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership(2006). The guiding hand of Ford Foundation is behind AK’s every move since then. The Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership seeks to inspire young people to apply their talents and energies to selfless and innovative service in Asia; and this award category was exclusively created in 2000 with support from a Ford Foundation grant, and honours greatness of spirit among men and women forty years old and below. https://rmaf.org.ph/?id=2&page=history.
In fact Magsaysay Foundation itself was planned by CIA. These declassified documents of CIA reveal the same.
AK got this award of$ 50000 at the age of 38 and the citation does not reveal some significant contribution except the fact that under the aegis of Parivartan, AK and his team could settle 2500 cases of electric bills grievances. The Magsaysay awards in different categories are constituted by the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation and a substantial part of the cash component is funded by the Ford Foundation(FF). Surprisingly, it is the Ford Foundation only that was financing AK during the same period while AK was also working in the Government of India. Even in the citation of the Magsaysay award to Kejriwal, was it a happy coincidence that the first reference was m made to CIA. Later, AK who had founded another organization, Kabir, with Manish Sisodia in August, 2005, became a poodle conduit for the Ford foundation-Dutch and other active American interests in India.
Herein is the capsule of Kejriwal’s dubious NGO career:
While on Study Leave and taking full salary, started Parivartan along with Manish Sisodia in 2000 for RTI campaign.
As on March 10, 2009, Parivartan is not an NGO or registered under any Act of Governments in India. Its website reveals that Parivartan is not registered under any Act as a society or a trust or a Company. It is a people’s movement. For Income Tax purposes, it is an Association of Persons.
But then Parivartan did receive World Bank Project without being covered under any Indian Act? Has AK disclosed it anywhere? Here is a World Bank report on AK and Parivartan.
Parivartan was not a registered society, Trust or company or anything under any Act of India as on April 8, 2002(link).
But, as on June 28,2002, the website claimed it is registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860 in the name of “” and that all donations made to Parivartan are exempt under Section 80G and 12A of IT Act. The website sought donations from public. This is a public fraud and a criminal case should now be filed against AK and Sisodia for duping people to donate them through their mischievous advertisement on their own website. The link of 28 June 2002 is here retrieved from Wayback machine.
NGO Kabir spun off of Parivartan and began operations on August 15th, 2005. The website came in operation since 17th Dec.2007
Kabir was funded heavily by Ford foundation. This is surprising that Kabir started getting funds from the very first year of operation.

Total amount of FC received and source
2005-06: Rs. 4348036 from Ford Foundation on 15.7.2005
2006-07: Rs.3205970 from Ford Foundation on 12.12.2006
2008-09:$1,97000 from Ford Foundation
This is stupendous feat of award disbursement that the donor turns into the awardee for its own beneficiary. Everything seems to be premeditated and made out to launch “own men” in Indian public sphere. AK became a Ford Foundation created “important man”.
What is surprising that Kabir claims to be transparent, but has not made public its foreign grants for the year 2008-9. But, the Ford Foundation site reveals it all. Kabir was given a grant of$1, 97,000 in the year 2008.
Again, the next year return reveals Kabir received Rs. 6075149 in the year 2009-10, but the details have been hidden as Annexures not made public in the name of transparency.

Now, things turn up crystal clear. AK was picked up by the Ford Foundation way back before 2005. The Ford Foundation began to finance his all activities and pushed him into limelight with conferring the Magsaysay Award. What he claims that he donated all his award money to a Trust. But the fact speaks otherwise. He created a trust with a donation of Rs.1000 on 20th December 2006. Here are the facts:
On 19th December, 2006, Kejriwal formed a trust, Public Cause Research Foundation(PCRF) with Rs.1000/- from Magsaysay award vide Cheque No. 36110 dated 20 Dec. 2006, with himself as main Trustee, Manish Sisodia and Abhinanadan Sekhari.
A NY University researcher Shimrit Lee visited Kabir and prepares a report, Public Power: India and Other Democracies(2010). She assisted in Kabir’s campaign for the Right to Information and Local Self-Rule. Nowadays, she is actively working in Egypt.
In a way, foreign organizations were funding him, assisting him with think tanks and also awarding him while he was still in the government service.
Ford Foundation India Representative Steven Solnick admitted that Foundation’s last instalment to Kabir was in 2010. “Our first grant to the NGO was of$1, 72,000 in 2005; the second was in 2008 of$1, 97, 000,” and that Magsaysay award for emergent Leadership was also funded by them(link).
A website BeyondHeadlines has filed one RTI to know the details of the foreign contributors to Kabir and has come up with the startling answer. Kabir received funds from the Ford Foundation(Rs 86,61,742), PRIA(Rs 2,37,035), Manjunath Shanmugam Trust(Rs 3,70,000), Dutch Embassy(Rs 19,61,968), Association for India’s Development(Rs 15,00,000), India’s Friends Association(Rs 7,86,500), United Nationals Development Programme(Rs12,52,742) while Rs 11,35,857 were collected from individual donations between 2007 to 2010(link).
Based upon this information, a lawyer Manohar Lal has filed a PIL in the Delhi High Court bearing no. W.P.(C) 3412/2012 on 21 May,2012. The High Court has sought status report within 3 months from the government of India vide their order dated 30.5.2012.
Kabir was raided by the Union Home Ministry officials for a suspected violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act(FCRA) on 22nd August, 2012 after a court order.
But, more curious is the fact that Kabir has been directly funded by the Dutch Embassy. The amount made public is merely the tip of the iceberg. When embassies can come out openly with funding an individual or organization, one can see the confidence and brazenness of the powers which are pushing Kejriwal for their own strategic game in India.
