UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 emphasises transparency and community engagement, encouraging social audits and participation of parents, local leaders and civil society in monitoring how schemes are implemented and what outcomes they achieve.

Option A:
Keeping information secret from communities undermines trust and prevents timely identification of problems or leakages.

Option B:
This option is correct because it captures the participatory, community-based monitoring that the policy promotes.

Option C:
Leaving monitoring solely to international agencies sidelines local stakeholders and is not envisaged in the policy.

Option D:
Giving evaluation responsibilities only to private companies without community involvement would weaken public accountability.
