The series includes discussions, a research competition, and is scheduled across India.

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, along with the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), has unveiled the 'CAG-ICSSR Colloquium Series'. This year-long national initiative seeks to foster understanding of audit findings and fiscal governance among the public.

Hosted on Tuesday, senior CAG and ICSSR figures, along with notable academics and policy experts, gathered to explore 'State Finances' and the 'Audit of the Health Sector'.
