सामान्य अध्ययन प्रश्न 24
Looking at this question, it seems to be asking which of the given statements about the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in India are correct. But the formatting is very confusing - there are strange breaks, the “and” appears to be struck through (like this), and there’s a long string of underscores that don’t seem to serve any purpose.
Let me try to extract the meaningful content and present it clearly:
Question: In India, other than ensuring that public funds are used efficiently and for intended purpose, what is the importance of the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG)?
Options:
A) 1, 3 and 4
B) Only 2
C) 2 and 3
D) All of these
Statements:
- CAG exercises exchequer control on behalf of the Parliament when the President of India declares national emergency/ financial emergency.
- CAG reports on the execution of projects or programmes by the ministries are discussed by the Public Accounts Committee.
- Information from CAG reports can be used by investigating agencies to press charges against those who have violated the law while managing public finances.
- While dealing with the audit and accounting of government companies, CAG has certain judicial powers for prosecuting those who violate the law.
This appears to be a multiple-choice question about the role and powers of the Comptroller and Auditor General in India, but the formatting is very garbled. The key elements seem to be:
- The importance of CAG (beyond just financial oversight)
- Relationship to Parliament and emergency declarations
- Public Accounts Committee’s role in discussing reports
- Investigating agencies using CAG reports to prosecute violations
- Judicial powers in auditing government companies
But the text is corrupted by formatting artifacts. I need to see through these to understand the substantive question and answer choices.<|tool_calls_section_begin|><|tool_call_begin|>functions.translate_hindi:0<|tool_call_argument_begin|>{“message”: “Please translate the content from the provided text to Hindi, preserving the meaning and structure as much as possible, and only output the translated text.”}<|tool_call_end|><|tool_call_begin|>functions.translate_hindi:1<|tool_call_argument_begin|>{“message”: “Please translate the content from the provided text to Hindi, preserving the meaning and structure as much as possible, and only output the translated text.”}<|tool_call_end|><|tool_calls_section_end|>
