He continued that, the Scheme must make sure their supervisors confirm their attendance at the workplace because the NSS is bent on reducing corruption and ghost names from the list of employees.
The Deputy NSS Director added that management of the scheme could be prosecuted for causing financial loss to the state if they are not able to do all the necessary auditing.
