A participatory tool letting stakeholders evaluate public projects. Mandated in schemes like MGNREGA, it checks compliance, fund usage, and beneficiaries’ satisfaction. Citizens gather in Gram Sabha meetings, scrutinize muster rolls, financial statements, and voice grievances. This fosters transparency, detecting leaks or ghost beneficiaries. Constitutional principles of participatory democracy underpin social audits, aligning with the spirit of Article 40 (Panchayats). However, success depends on proper record maintenance, administrative support, and local awareness. Social audits complement official inspections, making governance more accountable and bridging the gap between plan formulation and actual ground-level delivery of services.
