Empowering Progress: Unveiling the Transformative Influence of Social Audit in India

Author(s) Mr. AMIT KUMAR, Ms. Bidushee Singh
Country India
Abstract Social audit is vital for evaluating governmental and non-governmental initiatives for societal welfare. It involves assessing policies, programs, and projects to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsiveness to the needs of marginalized communities. In India, social audit acts as a bridge between policy-making and implementation, addressing socio-economic disparities. It promotes transparency and accountability in resource usage, curbing corruption and ensuring effective fund allocation, particularly in key sectors like education, healthcare, and rural development.
However, challenges such as limited awareness, resource constraints, and resistance from vested interests pose obstacles to the widespread adoption and effectiveness of social audit initiatives. Hence, there is a need for concerted efforts from policymakers, practitioners, and the wider society to strengthen the institutional frameworks, build capacities, and foster a conducive environment for the practice of social audit across different sectors and regions in India.
This paper delves into the evolution and conceptual framework of social audit and its impact on governance in India, using suitable case studies of best practices in different states. With a focus on enhancing governance practices and fostering inclusive development, social audit is a vital tool for promoting citizen participation and empowerment.
The relevance of social audits in India cannot be overstated. Its transformative potential lies in its ability to empower communities, enhance governance effectiveness, and promote social justice, thereby contributing to the overall development and well-being of the nation.
Keywords Social Audit, Governance practices, transparency, accountability, inclusive development.
