As per the NREG Act, Social Audit should be conducted to show the transparency in the
programme. Because people’s money is involved in this programme. Hence, the implementing
authority should take up the accountability and responsibility. If the social audit is not conducted, the
people have the right to go to the court of law and the people concerned are liable to punish.
Unfortunately, in the study are out of 15 respondents, 130 (86.66%) respondents said that the social
audit is not all conducted. In all the selected villages more than 90 per cent of them said that the social
audit is not at all conducted.
