Misappropriation of funds puts RDD schemes under surveillance 1/28/2016 11:52:11 PM Ishtiyaq Ahmad Srinagar, Jan 28: To prevent the "misappropriation" of funds in Rural Development Department schemes, authorities have decided that schemes would be supervised by village committee and a monitoring body of the Civil Secretariat. Sources said government has received complaints about fund embezzlements in RDD as undeserving people have been benefitted by various schemes while the deserving ones were left out. They said it has been found that there had been no check on the implementation of various schemes meant for the development of rural areas. "The Gram Sabha of a village will identify the developmental works and these works will be implemented under their surveillance so that there is no chance of embezzlement in the future," a senior official of RDD said. "A monitoring body will also be set up at the Civil Secretariat under whose supervision these schemes will be executed. Engineering works will be monitored and officials will be conducting surprise checks," the official said. Sources said the department has 3rd highest number of complaints received by the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) with around 850 complaints/ enquires pending in the various wings of the department. They said fake job cards were issued to politically influential families over the years.
