Ministry of Women and Child Development will soon launch an E-Tracking and Social Auditing of its programme to bring transparency, accountability and innovation in its women and child development programmes. Addressing the National Conference of Chairpersons of the Central and States Social Welfare Boards (CSWB) in New Delhi on September 17, 2009 Minister of Women and Child Development, Smt. Krishna Tirath said that the efforts should be made to address people’s grievances in public welfare programmes and no scope of negotiation should be left in the matters related to non-compliances, failure in programmes and projects, mismanagement of funds and non-cooperation with social groups.

Smt. Tirath said that Central and States Social Welfare Boards should meet to NGOs to regular joint evaluation consultations to learn each other’s successes and failures. They must complete the statutory compliances, particularly, relating to Audit and Accounts on time and the CSWB should organize regular Social Audit and Programme Audit to record the performances of its associates and beneficiaries.
