Concerns were raised regarding the operations of suppliers and the alleged absence of offices at designated locations. The ANYA representatives expressed dismay over reported delays in the delivery of equipment and questioned the transparency of procurement processes.

The delegation highlighted the absence of proper approvals and consultations with relevant government bodies, such as the National Mission Management Unit (NMMU) and the State Government, in crucial decision-making processes related to program implementation.

The ANYA highlighted the importance of adhering to established guidelines and ensuring accountability to safeguard the interests of the rural populace, particularly women's Self Help Groups (SHGs).

In response to these concerns, the Chief Secretary assured the ANYA delegation of a thorough review of the issues raised and pledged to take appropriate actions to address the alleged anomalies. The Chief Secretary stated the government's commitment to upholding transparency and fairness in all recruitment processes and program implementations.
