District Resource Persons (DRPs): Each district will require 1 to 2 DRPs to be hired on consultancy basis with at least 5 to 8 years of experience at the grass root level on people's issues. The function of DRPs will be to identify and train block and GP level resource persons and anchor the Social Audit Team of the district. DRPs may also be selected from VRPs who have completed three social audits as VRPs. Block Resource Persons (BRPs): Each block may require 2 to 3 BRPs who may be intermediate or graduates with minimum 3 to 5 years of experience and 3 years of grass root level experience.

// -/ /// Village Resource Persons (VRPs): Each GP may need 4 to 5 Village Resource Persons (VRP), who will be basically MGNREGA workers and must be literate. The VRPs shall be trained in verifying records. The Village Resource Persons deployed for Social Audit shall verify: (i) The Muster Rolls, entry and payments made in the specified time period by contacting the wage seekers, whose names are entered in such mater rolls. (ii) The work-site and assess the quantity with reference to records and also quality of work done. (iii) The cash book, bank statements and other financial records to verify the genuineness of financial reporting. (iv) The invoices, bills, vouchers or other related records used for procurement of materials to testify that the procurement was made as per the procedures laid down and was economical.

The aforesaid numbers of DRPs, BRPs and VRPs may vary depending upon the expenditure under MGNREGA, number of workers and worksites requiring verification and the geographical spread and terrain of the area. These guidelines, it is hoped would provide the necessary framework to enable the states to put in place an effective Social Audit Directorate / Society at the state-level which would then ensure that necessary social audits are carried out and follow up action initiated on the basis of these social audits. ~'\
