In Indian Express there is a a news item that the Minister of Rural Development has requested CAG for audit of all centrally-
funded RD schemes and that CAG has agreed to this request from
September 2011. Why only rural schemes ? Why not NHRM and other Centrally-sponsored schemes. It is important to note that in the
same newspaper a news item talks about 800 new ambulances parked in a Tata dealership in Lucknow but undelivered for want of drivers. Moreover alleged embezzlement of more than Rs 2700 cr in NHRM funds in UP has also been reported? Somewhere in Assam school children admitted and eligible for free mid-day meals exceed the number of kids born in the corresponding period in.

Al these schemes are not under complete scruitiny of CAG and government could have done least to entrust their audit to CAG. Moreover PSU banks are being used as milching cow by politicians with no accountability. Why not CAG audit for them ? These issues need to be taken up by civil society in parallel with Lokpal. Ensuring CAG's jusrisdiction to every aorganisation where government has interest will go long way in bringing transparency in the country.
