Why did you object to the government deploying NGOs (non-government organisations) as lok sewaks?
I am personally against this. It is one thing to have NGOs or anyone else voluntarily acting as a facilitator. But the moment you give work on contract to an NGO, there is no accountability. There is no way to know who is honest. Besides, NREGP can’t be used to pay the huge salaries marked for lok sewaks. Secondly, NREGP can’t be handed over to NGOs. The government may feel that the panchayat system has failed to deliver. But I feel we should look at this in detail. Are you against NGOs being there at all in NREGP, especially since a large reason for the scheme’s failure is ignorance of the beneficiaries? NGOs can be used for technical guidance. But they can’t take on the responsibility of the government. But what about NGOs that are involved in the social audit programme of the Andhra Pradesh government? They are workers belonging to NGOs but recruited by the government and working with the government system. What about the social audit programme you and other NGOs did this month in B
