The Narendra Modi government's Rural Development Ministry diverted funds from the National Social Assistance Programme, or NSAP, to publicise some of its other schemes, as per the Comptroller and Auditor General.
The findings were part of CAG's performance audit of NSAP from 2017-18 to 2020-21 which was tabled in Parliament on August 8, as per an Indian Express report.
The CAG reportedly said that while the funds were incurred from NSAP, the advertisements consisted of only PM Awas Yojana-Gramin, and DDU-Grameen Kaushalya Yojana.
Also, payment was made to DAVP without confirmation of execution of work.
