We would require a copy of the Indo-U.S. Agreement as well as a needs list and distribution plan."
We could not understand after FCRA , what type of agreement needed.You can look it in U.S.Embassy for detail.
Dear Mr. Bharti:
I am in receipt of your email requesting assistance in response to the devastating flooding that has occurred in India. Direct Relief International is a non-profit, non-sectarian medical relief and health assistance organization that supports the immediate and on-going work of disaster relief teams and grassroots community health initiatives worldwide by donating appropriate and specifically-requested pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, medical supplies, and medical equipment. The majority of these commodities are contributed to Direct Relief from U.S. manufacturers as well as health facilities and offices. In this way, Direct Relief and its corporate partners provide healthcare workers at disaster sites and in medically-indigent communities with previously unavailable medical instruments, disposable sterile supplies, essential pharmaceuticals, and well-functioning medical equipment. Please read more about Direct Relief International at our website: directrelief.org.
Direct Relief has worked to provide disaster relief and on-going medical assistance to partner facilities and organizations in India for over 40 years. In order to import medical goods into India duty free, however, the recipient organization must be registered under the Indo-U.S. Agreement. If you or an associated organization is registered under this Agreement we may be able to support your relief efforts by providing an emergency shipment of medical goods (antibiotics, antiparasitics, gastrointestinal agents, antiseptics/disinfectants, nutritional supplements, and first aid, hospital and clinic, and personal care supplies). We would require a copy of the Indo-U.S. Agreement as well as a needs list and distribution plan.
Please let me know if you are interested in working with Direct Relief to assist the population in the affected areas.
Thanks for your inquiry and all of your good work.
Sincerely,
Susan Fowler
Director of Programs

Dear Madam/Sir
It is the current severity with which the floods broken the 1987 heighest flood record, have affected North Bihar (INDIA) that defines the context of this letter to you. Our operational area comprises the districts of north Bihar Madhubani, Darbhanga, Supaul and Saharsa district which, given their proness to floods, have not escaped the ravages this year as well. In fact they happen to be the worst off in the current spate of floods. To provide you with an overview of the status of floods in the state, we are including herewith a basic fact-sheet which has been worked out on the basis of information culled from different dailies being published from the state capital. Near about 545 people died .
Though our major thrust has been developmental intervention, relief intervention is something we have had to necessarily deal with. Our relief intervention initiative dates back to 1987 since when we have been involved in flood relief work with assistance from agencies like OXFAM, IGSSS, Swiss Red Cross, CASA , ActionAid India etc.
We are ready for relief operation with 40 project workers and 1100 Volunteers . 35 Boats are also available in our mass organisation “Lok Shakti Sangathan” contacts.
50 other Ngo of Bihar who is also under our NGO network of “Bihar” . Our strategy in relief intervention has been to actively involve the beneficiaries in operationalising the relief intervention and not treat them as mere recipients of dole. The gamut of activities covered under relief intervention have included distribution of Polythene sheets, running of free Meal centres, distribution of Medicines, provisioning of safe Drinking water and Boats,Clothes, Utensils etc. Food for Work programme as well as post-flood rehabilitation package like construction of Roads/houses, Renovation of ponds etc. After the Flood we will continue the work of Disaster Prepareness. All activities are meticulously recorded and transparently presented to the concerned donor and state govt
Given this back ground, we solicit your kind assistance to enable us to undertake relief intervention. In the event of an affirmative response, we would be furnishing you with all the details necessary for the work and as desired by you.
We need above materials for 4 district that is Saharsa, Supaul, Darbhanga and Madhubani district Bihar. Hope you will consider and cooperate our people. We are involve in relief work at small level with local contribution..
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.Plese see atachment for detail.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Deepak Bharti
