CAG flags financial irregularities in Odisha's high school transformation scheme

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has identified financial irregularities in a high school transformation programme that was implemented by the previous Odisha government. The audit findings have revealed procedural and financial lapses in the execution of the scheme.

The CAG's report documents these discrepancies in how the high school transformation initiative was administered during the preceding tenure. The identification of such irregularities underscores concerns about financial management in the education sector programme.

The CAG's findings are likely to intensify scrutiny on the administration of the state's education sector initiatives that were implemented under the previous government.
