&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Rural development ministerJairam Ramesh has written to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Vinod Rai seeking focused attention to the government&#039;s Rs 40,000-crore expenditure on MGNREGS, the flagship rural employment guarantee scheme, and to evaluate funds utilization by states.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The minister has highlighted some deviations made by some states in his communication to the CAG, while requesting the auditor to make suggestions that could help the government &amp;quot;establish a proper institutional mechanism to plug all possible leakages.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, the CAG had agreed to conduct performance audit in 12 states, including UP, Andhra Pradesh, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and Assam, for the expenses made on the scheme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh&#039;s proactive stand on evaluating states&#039; performance has invited the ire of UP chief minister Mayawati, who has claimed that MGNREGA funds have not been misused in her state. In his letter to the UP CM, Ramesh had highlighted the misuse of funds by some state departments and called for a CBI probe.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh has pointed out to CAG how some states have exceeded the stipulated mandays, and billed up to Rs 500 crore for reimbursement.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;There is a major deviation being resorted to by most states with regard to quantum of work prescribed to calculate wage rates,&amp;quot; the minister has told the CAG.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had blamed CAG for &amp;quot;transgressing his brief in commenting on policy issues and in holding press conferences on audit reports.&amp;quot; Shortly after the PM had told an editors&#039; gathering in June that &amp;quot;it is not right for the CAG to go into issues which are not its concern,&amp;quot; CAG Rai had written a two-page letter to the PM, explaining the audit body&#039;s stand in conducting &amp;quot;in-depth examination&amp;quot; of implementation of government policies.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Rural development ministerJairam Ramesh has written to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Vinod Rai seeking focused attention to the government&#039;s Rs 40,000-crore expenditure on MGNREGS, the flagship rural employment guarantee scheme, and to evaluate funds utilization by states.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The minister has highlighted some deviations made by some states in his communication to the CAG, while requesting the auditor to make suggestions that could help the government &amp;quot;establish a proper institutional mechanism to plug all possible leakages.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, the CAG had agreed to conduct performance audit in 12 states, including UP, Andhra Pradesh, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and Assam, for the expenses made on the scheme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh&#039;s proactive stand on evaluating states&#039; performance has invited the ire of UP chief minister Mayawati, who has claimed that MGNREGA funds have not been misused in her state. In his letter to the UP CM, Ramesh had highlighted the misuse of funds by some state departments and called for a CBI probe.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh has pointed out to CAG how some states have exceeded the stipulated mandays, and billed up to Rs 500 crore for reimbursement.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;There is a major deviation being resorted to by most states with regard to quantum of work prescribed to calculate wage rates,&amp;quot; the minister has told the CAG.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had blamed CAG for &amp;quot;transgressing his brief in commenting on policy issues and in holding press conferences on audit reports.&amp;quot; Shortly after the PM had told an editors&#039; gathering in June that &amp;quot;it is not right for the CAG to go into issues which are not its concern,&amp;quot; CAG Rai had written a two-page letter to the PM, explaining the audit body&#039;s stand in conducting &amp;quot;in-depth examination&amp;quot; of implementation of government policies.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Rural development ministerJairam Ramesh has written to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Vinod Rai seeking focused attention to the government&#039;s Rs 40,000-crore expenditure on MGNREGS, the flagship rural employment guarantee scheme, and to evaluate funds utilization by states.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The minister has highlighted some deviations made by some states in his communication to the CAG, while requesting the auditor to make suggestions that could help the government &amp;quot;establish a proper institutional mechanism to plug all possible leakages.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, the CAG had agreed to conduct performance audit in 12 states, including UP, Andhra Pradesh, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and Assam, for the expenses made on the scheme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh&#039;s proactive stand on evaluating states&#039; performance has invited the ire of UP chief minister Mayawati, who has claimed that MGNREGA funds have not been misused in her state. In his letter to the UP CM, Ramesh had highlighted the misuse of funds by some state departments and called for a CBI probe.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh has pointed out to CAG how some states have exceeded the stipulated mandays, and billed up to Rs 500 crore for reimbursement.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;There is a major deviation being resorted to by most states with regard to quantum of work prescribed to calculate wage rates,&amp;quot; the minister has told the CAG.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had blamed CAG for &amp;quot;transgressing his brief in commenting on policy issues and in holding press conferences on audit reports.&amp;quot; Shortly after the PM had told an editors&#039; gathering in June that &amp;quot;it is not right for the CAG to go into issues which are not its concern,&amp;quot; CAG Rai had written a two-page letter to the PM, explaining the audit body&#039;s stand in conducting &amp;quot;in-depth examination&amp;quot; of implementation of government policies.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Rural development ministerJairam Ramesh has written to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Vinod Rai seeking focused attention to the government&#039;s Rs 40,000-crore expenditure on MGNREGS, the flagship rural employment guarantee scheme, and to evaluate funds utilization by states.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The minister has highlighted some deviations made by some states in his communication to the CAG, while requesting the auditor to make suggestions that could help the government &amp;quot;establish a proper institutional mechanism to plug all possible leakages.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, the CAG had agreed to conduct performance audit in 12 states, including UP, Andhra Pradesh, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and Assam, for the expenses made on the scheme.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh&#039;s proactive stand on evaluating states&#039; performance has invited the ire of UP chief minister Mayawati, who has claimed that MGNREGA funds have not been misused in her state. In his letter to the UP CM, Ramesh had highlighted the misuse of funds by some state departments and called for a CBI probe.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh has pointed out to CAG how some states have exceeded the stipulated mandays, and billed up to Rs 500 crore for reimbursement.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;There is a major deviation being resorted to by most states with regard to quantum of work prescribed to calculate wage rates,&amp;quot; the minister has told the CAG.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had blamed CAG for &amp;quot;transgressing his brief in commenting on policy issues and in holding press conferences on audit reports.&amp;quot; Shortly after the PM had told an editors&#039; gathering in June that &amp;quot;it is not right for the CAG to go into issues which are not its concern,&amp;quot; CAG Rai had written a two-page letter to the PM, explaining the audit body&#039;s stand in conducting &amp;quot;in-depth examination&amp;quot; of implementation of government policies.

Jairam Ramesh seeks CAG’s help to plug job scheme loopholes

-The Times of India   Rural development ministerJairam Ramesh has written to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Vinod Rai seeking focused attention to the government's Rs 40,000-crore expenditure on MGNREGS, the flagship rural employment guarantee scheme, and to evaluate funds utilization by states.  The minister has highlighted some deviations made by some states in his communication to the CAG, while requesting the auditor to make suggestions that could help the government "establish a proper institutional mechanism to plug all possible leakages."  Earlier, the CAG had agreed to conduct performance audit in 12 states, including UP, Andhra Pradesh, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and Assam, for the expenses made on the scheme.  Ramesh's proactive stand on evaluating states' performance has invited the ire of UP chief minister Mayawati, who has claimed that MGNREGA funds have not been misused in her state. In his letter to the UP CM, Ramesh had highlighted the misuse of funds by some state departments and called for a CBI probe.  Ramesh has pointed out to CAG how some states have exceeded the stipulated mandays, and billed up to Rs 500 crore for reimbursement.  "There is a major deviation being resorted to by most states with regard to quantum of work prescribed to calculate wage rates," the minister has told the CAG.  Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had blamed CAG for "transgressing his brief in commenting on policy issues and in holding press conferences on audit reports." Shortly after the PM had told an editors' gathering in June that "it is not right for the CAG to go into issues which are not its concern," CAG Rai had written a two-page letter to the PM, explaining the audit body's stand in conducting "in-depth examination" of implementation of government policies.
