BENGALURU: After the Congress guarantee schemes, the state government is all set to audit welfare schemes for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities.
The government has undertaken an audit of the guarantee scheme to check whether ineligible people are availing the benefits. Now, it has planned to audit SC-ST community welfare schemes also. A decision to this effect was taken at the SCSP-TSP council meeting held on Thursday.
ವಿಕಾಸಸೌಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂದು ನಡೆದ ಎಸ್ಸಿಎಸ್ಪಿ-ಟಿಎಸ್ಪಿ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನ ಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾನ್ಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಡಿ.ಕೆ. ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿ, ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಜಾತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಪಂಗಡಗಳ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಮೀಸಲಾದ ಅನುದಾನದ ಸಮರ್ಪಕ ಬಳಕೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳ ಪರಿಣಾಮಕಾರಿ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನದ ಕುರಿತು ಚರ್ಚಿಸಲಾಯಿತು.

The audit has been planned to check if the schemes have reached beneficiaries, whether they are reaching eligible beneficiaries, if one person is getting benefit from 2-3 schemes, etc, and to take corrective action. The government plans to collect complete details along with photos of beneficiaries, details of the welfare schemes, if others are taking benefit of the schemes in the name of SC or ST beneficiaries, among others.
If lapses are found in the audit, such persons may be dropped from the list of beneficiaries. The move has given rise to speculation whether the SC-ST schemes be revised like guarantee schemes.
