Few steps MORE

Video Posted on

Few Steps MORE is a short video on how poor and vulnerable communities in Andhra Pradesh are exercising their right to information. Social Audits are introduced by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to promote community participation in National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme as well as promote transparency and accountability. Since 2006, 4440 social audits are conducted in AP where communities came forward and audited wage works implemented by the government. Though a meagre Rs.30 crores is recovered from identified Rs250 crore of misappropriation but the process is bringing poor and vulnerable groups to come together and speak up against corruption in country side. Andhra Pradesh is the first state in India to initiate a separate unit called SSAAT headed by renowned right to information activist Ms.Soumya Kidambi.
