The Government will soon introduce a ‘social audit’ system for the new schemes which will be launched by the Ministry of Urban Development.
The aim is to promote transparency and accountability in execution, Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said at the first meeting of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee of the Ministry here on Monday.
In another initiative, consultative committees would be set up at the district level for monitoring the implementation of the projects, to avoid delays, he added.
Naidu said that these committees, comprising of the local MPs, would also examine the resource position of the urban local bodies and their ability to execute the projects. These committees would be co-chaired by one of the MPs along with the District Collector.
