Dheeraja, Associate Professor & Head i/c, CSA Introduction Social Audit is an audit of Scheme/Programme that is conducted jointly by the government functionaries and the people, especially by those people, who were affected by or are the intended beneficiaries of such scheme. Section 17 of the NREGA mandates that regular social audits should be conducted in the Gram Sabhas at least once in every six months. To have a common understanding and uniform way of application of social audits in MGNREGS across the states, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Audit of Scheme Rules 2011 were notified in consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) of India. The rules have spelt out clearly who will facilitate social audits, the prerequisites for social audit, process of conducting the social audits, the roles and responsibilities of the officials at different levels and the actions to be taken and the cost of establishing the social audit units, etc. In this context the present study studied compliance of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Audit of Scheme Rules 2011 in all the 29 states. Objectives The Study was taken up with objectives like to assess the status of social audit units, their independence and functions and to analyse the challenges faced to adhere the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Audit of Scheme Rules 2011 in all the states. Methodology The study focused on the specific aspects like setting up of independent Social Audit Units, status of directors and governing bodies of Social Audit Units, notification of the calendar by the Social Audit Units, conduct of social audits in consonance with Audit of Scheme Rules 2011, recruitment of minimum personnel, submission of the quarterly report, Institutionalisation of monitoring mechanisms and the type of actions taken, awareness and transparency mechanisms followed, training of the social audit resource persons, preparation of formats, manuals, training materials, the roles and responsibilities of officials and social audit team, follow up actions of social audit-whether any recoveries, filing of criminal cases, disciplinary actions on the accused and timely disposal of the grievances, etc. 1 Research Highlights 2016-2017 In all the states the officials of implementing MGNREGS and staff of Social Audit Units were met and information on the adherence to social audit rules was

College (Auto.), Bhawanipatna, Kalahandi, Odisha, India 2Department of Economics, Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, India 3IIT Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India Abstract The present study is an attempt to study the major causes of out migration in Kalahandi district of Odisha. The study is mainly based on primary data collected through semi-structured questionnaire from two blocks of the district, namely Golamunda and Narla with the total sample size of 300 households. In selecting the sample households, a proportionate sampling along with simple random sampling technique has been used. The study used descriptive statistics, percentage, ratio and cross tabulation to analyze the data. The major findings of the study show that most of the migrants (96%) in the study area are seasonal (or temporary) migrants while a few migrants (4%) are permanent migrants. Among the different social categories, the intensity of migration is highest among SC migrants. Besides, most of the migrants are in the age group of 41-50 and basically the illiterate or very low educated workers (0-5 years of education) are migrated in large number as compared to relatively higher educated workers. So far as place of migration is concerned most of the migrants are migrated to the interstates and very few of them are migrated to the inter districts.
