As of my latest available information, several states in India have made progress in conducting social audits of MGNREGS (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme) works in their gram panchayats. Here is a point-wise breakdown:
  • According to reports, as of now, around 16 Indian states have completed social audits of MGNREGS works in at least 50% of their gram panchayats.
  • These states include Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
  • In these states, the gram panchayats are responsible for organizing and conducting social audits, which involve assessing the efficacy and transparency of MGNREGS projects.
  • Through these audits, villagers and beneficiaries of MGNREGS works have the opportunity to actively participate in evaluating the quality and progress of the projects.
  • Social audits help ensure accountability, identify irregularities, and highlight areas for improvement in the implementation of MGNREGS.
Please note that this information might not be up to date, and it is advisable to refer to official government sources or reports for the most current status on social audits of MGNREGS works in Indian states.
