New Delhi, Sep 17 - Woman and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath Thursday said she had initiated fresh audits for her ministry and its schemes, with the aim to make the process of their implementation transparent.

'Efforts should be made to address people's grievances in public welfare programmes and no scope of negotiation should be left in the matters related to non-compliances, failure in programmes and projects, mismanagement of funds and noncooperation with social groups,' the minister said at the national conference of chairpersons of the central and states Social Welfare Boards held here.

Tirath said in her first 100 days as minister, she had initiated several audits on programmes, social schemes, NGO profiling, analysis of the gaps in services and reconstitution of boards.

She said that schemes will be soon reviewed to make them more effective adding that state boards must regularly meet NGOs for joint evaluations and complete audit and accounts requirements in time.
