Delivering her introductory speech, the state resource person Imlirenla Sanglier said that, “transparency and accountability” is the main feature under MGNREGA.

She emphasized on maintenance of three phases of photographs of all schemes/ projects undertaken and work code should be clearly shown in the work order and sanction order issued by the block office. Gram Sabha resolution was read out by the district resource person  while village-wise rectification of various discrepancies was also done.

During the discussion hour, clarification on maintenance of seven register to be maintained by the VDB was made, where PD/DPC (MGNREGA) assured that training on maintenance of seven register will be conducted shortly.

He challenged to set the mindset straight by discharging duties in the truest sense. He went on to say that, conducting social audit is not a fault finding one but to improvise the functioning and implementation system.
