In cases of extreme hardship where the institutions run on charitable basis or are really incapable cf paying the Refugees Rehabilitation Commissioner, West Bengal may approach the Government ot India for writing of this part of expenditure. If. however the Governemnt of India do not agree to such proposals the cost may be treated as pro-rata charge on the beneficiaries Of the colonies (ii) clubs, libraries and social organisation etc. of properly function, may also be considered useful for creation of better living conditions in the colonies/township. But unlike the schools. colleges and hospitals these organisations, may be given short terms lease on terms and conditions to be fixed by Government on the basis of specific recommendation in each separate case. Ordinarily no such allotment should be made to the organisations having partisan or sectarion outlook or faith or practice.
