Of course, they operate in 90 countries as per their website, even 4600/90 = $51 million, no doubt they spend many times more than that in India. https://www.crs.org/sites/default/files/crs-fin-report-2023.pdf

From here which I expect you read already
Good read, how young coders in DOGE including a Indian origin, outsmarted the bureaucrats. The deepstate wasn't prepared for this.
^forensic enough?
What PR? There was such a program planned for India. What we want to know is it's intent.
Now we know budget was allocated, see previous question
Still need to know the intent. Who is the best party to answer? Person(s) responsible for allocation of that amount.
Also don't assume there were no other Indian projects paid for earlier by USAID.
For now we don't know much. Only tip of the iceberg is showing.
I agree with the foreign office that its a 'deeply troubling' development.

You do realise this is just some fanfiction some guy made up right? It's not news.
No this was always known.
So you should also be asking from 2016-2020 what USAID did? Because that was under Trump administration. They should be able to tell us about their intent then? Because they have consistently funded the same organisations.

Trump removes Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. CQ Brown in purge of military leaders
President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced late Friday they are replacing several senior military officials that the Trump administration has linked to Biden-era diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Among those targeted in the purge of military brass was Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation’s most senior military officer.
Trump announced he is nominating Air Force Lieutenant Gen. Dan Caine to replace Brown as Joint Chiefs chairman.
Hegseth then announced that he is replacing Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife.
Hegseth also indicated he is replacing the judge advocates general of the Army, Navy and Air Force.

Could $5,000 DOGE stimulus checks really happen? Here's what we know.
Could President Trump issue DOGE stimulus checks? The idea of $5,000 refunds from the ongoing drive to reduce federal spending has been floated.
But don't add that bonus to your account just yet. That's because DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, ideally must meet its $2 trillion savings goal to make the kickback feasible. And that accomplishment is something even Elon Musk, the unofficial leader of DOGE, said may not be doable back in January.
Still, President Trump on Wednesday said the administration is considering giving 20% of "DOGE savings" to citizens. His comments came a day after Musk said he would confer with Trump about the idea.
Even if the idea of $5,000 stimulus checks evolves, Congress would need to approve a dispersal of funds to taxpayers. Here's what we know so far.
Where did the idea for $5,000 DOGE stimulus checks come from?
"Anti-woke" investor James Fishback, CEO and co-founder of Azoria Partners, suggested the idea on X on Feb. 14 and lobbied Musk on the idea of $5,000 checks – based on the $2 trillion in savings accrued from DOGE – leaving the rest to pay down the national debt."American taxpayers deserve a ‘DOGE Dividend’: 20% the money that DOGE saves should be sent back to hard-working Americans as a tax refund check. It was their money in the first place," Fishback posted.
"@ElonMusk, let’s do this! This is how we rebuild trust in our government," he said.
In discussing the possible dividend on CNN on Saturday, Fishback said, the potential for a check of up to $5,000 would "incentivize Americans to report waste, fraud and abuse in their own community. Why? Because the more that DOGE saves, the bigger their check will be."

We could see his disdain for Modi .. Now he wants to make clear he will not be a clown in Modi circus .Third time he is pulling this up, it's $21mn towards India and $29mn to Bangladesh, different cases.'$21 million going to my friend PM Modi': US President Donald Trump fixates on fund to India for third day in a row - The Times of India

Probably things may work out differently, this might be dtrump's tactics of making some deals. Initially use methods to put others under duress, then force them to make costly offers which can primarily benefit him and then if anything remains, his country.
Yes, May be the case . Modi and his love for his crony friend Adani might be a major issue . Trump might be wanting to encash that forever love . Else Adani will be sanctioned which will render him bankrupt.

Yes these are the signature tactics of Trump. Put others under duress and make them sign which makes him a profit but saying that he's doing for his country as always, the same Trump.
When Ivanka Trump came in 2017 for attending the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) KCR of TRS party made many deals with her where she & him profited from those deals.
