CAG begins two-year audit to check urea diversion, plug subsidy leakages
The CAG has identified 169 districts across 15 states where urea consumption is significantly above the respective state averages and the national average of 180kg per hectare
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has commenced a comprehensive two-year investigation to investigate the reasons behind increased urea consumption and to evaluate the efficiency of the fertilizer subsidy system, sources reveal. The audit, led by Dhirendra Kumar, an experienced policy reporter, aims to identify any diversion of urea and plug the leakages in the subsidy system.
With over two decades of experience in reporting on key economic and governance sectors, Kumar's investigation is expected to shed light on structural policy shifts and their impact on India's agricultural and fertilizer sectors.
