Mayyil grama panchayat in Kannur district has become the first local body in the State to complete the social audit of the first phase of activities taken up as part of the Malinya Muktam Nava Keralam (waste-free Kerala) campaign.
Social audit has been made an integral component of all projects and activities being implemented by the local self-government institutions in the State to ensure complete transparency and inclusiveness in their planning and implementation, marking a shift from the conventional approach of State agencies doing all these functions on their own.
In Mayyil panchayat, the social audit report was presented at the grama sabha held earlier this week. The report thoroughly reviewed the activities of the first phase of the campaign conducted from March 13 to June 5. The review was done by a 12-member committee comprising people from different walks of life.
