Social Audit scenario in Orissa |
|
 Social audit of government works is a unique tool of establishing
government’s direct accountability to the people. In National Rural
Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) (section 17 sub section 1,2,3)

to enforce the constitutional and democratic right of the citizen to
take the “hisaab” of the public money. After the NREGS came into
effect from 2nd February 2006 social audits and surveys have been
undertaken by various groups in different paces of Orissa at different
points of time. A rough list is given in the following box in the next

In the first phase SA was done from 21st January to 4th February 2008
in 11 GPs in six districts namely Bolangir, Koraput, Boud , Sonepur,
Nuapada and Kalahandi. |
