Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India for the year ended March 2023 (Compliance Audit — Civil), Government of Tamil Nadu

निष्कर्ष

1. नमूने में लिए गए 77 आंगनवाड़ी केंद्रों में — सरकारी और किराए के दोनों भवनों में — अलग रसोई, जल सुविधा, शौचालय या खेल का स्थान नहीं था।

   “Lack of basic infrastructure viz., separate kitchen, water facility, toilets, playing area etc., was noticed in 77 sampled Anganwadi centres functioning in Government owned and rented buildings.”Overview

2. 2019 से 2023 के बीच स्वीकृत 3,503 आंगनवाड़ी भवनों में से 273 अप्रैल 2024 तक अधूरे थे, और केंद्रों के युक्तिकरण या स्थानांतरण में आठ वर्ष की देरी हुई।

   “There was lack of coordination with line departments and delays in construction of buildings of Anganwadi centres. Out of 3,503 buildings sanctioned during 2019-23, 273 buildings were pending completion as of April 2024... Delay of eight years in rationalising/relocating Anganwadi Centres defeated the objective of covering all areas under Integrated Child Development Services.”Overview

3. रिक्तियों के कारण आंगनवाड़ी कार्यकर्ताओं को आधे किलोमीटर से तीन किलोमीटर तक दूर स्थित दूसरे केंद्रों का अतिरिक्त प्रभार सँभालना पड़ा।

   “Due to existence of vacancies, Anganwadi workers held additional charge of other centres located at distances ranging from half a kilometre to three kilometres from each other.”Overview

4. राज्य की खाद्य विश्लेषण प्रयोगशालाओं की मान्यता में देरी के कारण नमूने निजी एनएबीएल प्रयोगशालाओं में भेजे गए, और एकत्र नमूनों में से 19.79 प्रतिशत विश्लेषण से पहले ही समय-सीमा पार कर गए।

   “Inordinate delay in obtaining accreditation by Food Analysis Laboratories led to samples being sent to NABL accredited private laboratories which resulted in discarding 19.79 per cent of the samples collected, as they had expired even before analysis.”Overview

5. 2012-13 से खाद्य सुरक्षा आयुक्त को खाद्य कारोबारियों पर दंड लगाने के 7,433 प्रस्ताव मिले, जिनमें से 1,172 — यानी 15.77 प्रतिशत — अब भी स्वीकृति की प्रतीक्षा में थे, और सबसे पुराना 2012-13 का था।

   “Since 2012-13, the Commissioner of Food Safety had received 7,433 proposals for imposing penalty on Food Business Operators from the Designated Officers seeking approval for prosecution, out of which 1,172 (15.77 per cent) proposals were pending approval, the earliest of which being from the year 2012-13.”Overview
