<h3>What is Social accountability</h3>
<p>Social accountability is an obligation and responsibility on the part of the government to be answerable to the citizens for its actions. Accountability of government officials is a cornerstone and a must for ensuring good governance.</p>
<h3>Methods and tools of social accountability</h3>
<p>There are different methods and tools of social accountability.</p>
<p>Components of social accountability practice include collection, analysis and dissemination of information, mobilisation of public support, advocacy and negotiation for change.</p>
<p>Social audit is a tool for social accountability and transparency.</p>
<h3>Main Principles of social accountability</h3>
<p>The seven main principles of social accountability can be summarised as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Jankari (Information)</li>
<li>Bhagidari (Involvement and participation of citizens)</li>
<li>Karyawahi (Time bound action)</li>
<li>Suraksha (Protection of Citizens)</li>
<li>Sunwai (Citizen's right to be heard)</li>
<li>Janta Ka Manch (Collective Platform)</li>
<li>Prasar (Report Dissemination)</li>
</ol>
<h3>Social accountability in Viksit Bharat &ndash; Guarantee for Rozgar &amp; Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)</h3>
<p>The Government of India commitment to accountability is visible in the set of framed rules and regulations called "Audit of Scheme Rules 2011".</p>
<p>The following is an example that shows how social accountability principles can be applied in monitoring social programmes like Viksit Bharat &ndash; Guarantee for Rozgar &amp; Ajeevika Mission (Gramin).</p>
<p>In case of VB G RAM G, it is the responsibility of the block office to ensure that job-cardholders get employment within 15 days of demand application. If the administration fails to provide employment within this time period, workers are eligible for unemployment allowance, non payment of which can lead to action being taken against the concerned officials.</p>
<p>To ensure that effective social accountability processes are put in place, community members must have access to information, they must participate in monitoring exercises, their rights as citizens must be secured, a platform must be created for their voices to be heard, timely action must be taken on complaints made by them and reports produced through such exercises must be widely disseminated.</p>
<p><strong>Transparency and accountability features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Citizen Information Board</li>
<li>Display at Panchayats</li>
<li>Social Audit by Gram Sabha</li>
<li>Vigilance and monitoring committees</li>
<li>Quality monitors</li>
<li>Ombudsman: the highest authority for addressing grievances</li>
<li>Penalty for non-compliance</li>
</ul>
