The Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh has said expenditure on Rural Development works would soon come under the ambit of Comptroller and Auditor General. The Minister told reporters in Ranchi that the officials from his Minister will meet the C&AG to reach an understanding to bring expenditure of all rural works across the country under the audit of the C&AG. He said there would be a special Accountant General for every state for audit of expenditure on rural development works.

The Minister said this will put pressure on the centre and the state governments to implement the projects properly and transparently.
