The CAG’s Performance Audit Report of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) r i p - o f f s h o w s a sc am of 5755.45 crore between April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2011. The CAG findings point that despite the State receiving the highest allocation of N R H M f u n d s (8 , 6 5 7 . 3 5 crore), the health indicators were poor with maternal mortality rate being the highest and infant mortality and total fertility rates being second highest compared to eight major populous States of the country. The report also mentions that due to weak programme implementation, unutilised fund continued to increase and stood at 1,364.89 crore at the end of March 2010 and this deprived the State from further Central assistance of 124.55 crore. Under the upgradation of infrastructure to Indian Public Health Standard, the CAG findings showed that in selection and award of NRHM works to construction agencies on nomination basis were in violation of the judgement of the SC, CVC guidelines and NRHM framework.
