This document details an amendment to existing guidelines concerning the conduct of third-party transparency audits for government training institutes. Originally, such audits were to be assigned to training institutes within the respective Ministry or Department. However, following a request from the Central Information Commission, this rule has been modified. Now, if a Ministry or Department lacks its own designated training institute, it is permitted to engage any government training institute for conducting these transparency audits. This change aims to ensure that transparency audits can be carried out effectively across all government entities, regardless of their internal training infrastructure.
