UP govt launches training of CSAs for Samagra Shiksha Social Audit

Lucknow, Apr 15 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a Social Audit Training Programme under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan to promote transparency in scheme implementation and ensure quality education reaches every section of society, official sources said here on Tuesday.
Sources said that currently Cluster Social Auditors (CSAs) from 14 selected districts, including Ambedkar Nagar, Amethi, Bahraich, Balrampur, Barabanki, Bareilly, Ayodhya, Gonda, Kheri, Rae Bareli, Shahjahanpur, Shravasti, Sitapur and Sultanpur, are undergoing training as part of this initiative.
It may be noted that the initiative is progressing in the remaining districts as well. Once the training process is completed in the districts assigned to respective universities, social audit activities will be carried out across the state.
Sources said that the Social Audit Programme in these 14 districts is being conducted under the supervision of designated nodal officer Prof HM Arif, Dr Areena and coordinator Dr Vanya from Integral University, Lucknow. "Each training session includes 20 to 60 participants, covering 10 to 18 blocks per district. So far, over 270 CSAs have been trained," they said.
Director General of School Education, Kanchan Verma, said that the primary objective of the training is to monitor effective implementation of schemes such as school uniforms, textbook distribution, mid-day meals, nutrition programmes, infrastructure facilities and inclusive education. "CSAs will play a vital role in ensuring that these schemes are implemented correctly at the grassroots level," she said.
Basic Education Minister Sandeep Singh said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has often emphasised that government schemes are truly successful only when their benefits reach the person at the very end of the social spectrum.
"This training programme is a practical reflection of that vision. The government is now giving a new direction to “social accountability and public participation” in governance," he said.
He said that millions of underprivileged children studying in government schools in rural and backward areas will directly benefit from this initiative. "When trained individuals from the same community monitor the implementation of these schemes, the execution will be more effective and the quality of education will also improve," he said.
