CAG CAN NOW VET NGOs IN SOCIAL SECTOR SCHEMES

The comptroller and auditor general of India (CAG) has now been empowered to vet all non government organization (NGOs) and other agencies involved in the Governments Social Sector Scheme. The planning commission has decided that approvals for all social sector projects undertaken by various NGOs, normally outside the purview of CAG, will come with the rider that they will be subject to audit if required.
