Report for the year ended 31 March 2016 has been prepared for submission to the Governor of the State of Haryana under Article 151 of the Constitution of India. The Report contains significant results of the performance audit and compliance audit of the departments and autonomous bodies of the Government of Haryana under the Social, General and Economic Sectors (Non-Public Sector Undertakings). The instances mentioned in this Report are those which came to notice in the course of test audit during the year 2015-16 as well as those which came to notice in earlier years but could not be reported in the previous Audit Reports. Instances relating to the period subsequent to 2015-16 have also been included, wherever necessary. The audit has been conducted in conformity with the Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. v Overview OVERVIEW This Report contains three performance audits viz. (i) Working of Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board;(ii) Working of Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak and (iii) Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 and 20 paragraphs relating to excess, unfruitful expenditure, avoidable payment and shortcomings in implementation of rules and programmes involving ` 747.16 crore. Some major findings are summarized below: The total expenditure of the State Government increased by 109 per cent from ` 38,014 crore to ` 79,394 crore during 2011-16. The revenue expenditure increased by 85 per cent from ` 32,015 crore in 2011-12 to ` 59,236 crore in 2015-16 while the capital expenditure increased by 29 per cent from ` 5,372 crore to ` 6,908 crore during the period 2011-16. PERFORMANCE AUDIT 1. Working of Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board The Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board was set up in August 1969 with the main objective of providing facilities for better regulation of purchase, sale, storage and processing of agricultural produce. A performance audit of the functioning of the Board for the period 2011-16 brought out lack of long term planning and deficiencies in both financial management and execution of projects and schemes which undermined the overall objectives of the Board. Some of the significant findings are as follows: Surplus funds were kept in savings bank accounts instead of in fixed deposits resulting in loss of interest of ` 6 crore. An amount of ` 126.44 crore was outstanding on account of interest on loan, godown rent, water and sewerage charges, cost of shop/booth sites/land and enhanced land compensation. (Paragraphs 2.1.7.4 and 2.1.7.5) Basic infrastructure facilities such as boundary walls, weighbridges at entry point, check-post, canteen and dormitory were not provided in 38 Market Committees.
