1st cag of india

Tribune News Service New Delhi, June 12 Audit institutions of countries have a crucial role to play for the responsible use of artificial intelligence for good governance, transparency and accountability, said CAG of India Girish Chandra Murmu. He inaugurated the Supreme Audit Institutions-20 (SAI20) engagement group meeting as part of the India’s G20 presidency. “AI is all-pervasive, cross-cutting nature compounded with evolving technology,” Murmu said, adding it necessitated cooperation for knowledge-sharing and capacity-building. SAIs must prepare themselves for auditing AI-based governance systems and SAIs must look for opportunities to adopt AI into their audit techniques to increase their effectiveness, he added. The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees. The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term. The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).

Correct Answer - Option 4 : V. Narahari Rao The correct answer is V Narahari Rao. • V. Narahari is the first CAG of India. • V. Narahari Rao was an Indian civil servant who served the Indian Audit and Accounts Service in post-independence India. • He served as the first Comptroller and Auditor General of India from 1948 to 1954. • The Government of India awarded him the third highest civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan, in 1954, for his contributions to civil service. • Present CAG is G. C. Murmu. • He assumed office on 8 August 2020.

When Girish Chandra Murmu took oath as the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India on Saturday, he became the first person from a tribal community to occupy the post in the institution's 162-year history. President Ramnath Kovind administered the oath of office to Murmu in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Rashtrapati Bhavan. As an IAS officer, Murmu has worked closely with Modi for the past 15 years. When Murmu abruptly resigned from the post of Jammu and Kashmir's lieutenant governor on August 5, few had any doubts about his next posting. But this was not the case with the post he had vacated. There was massive speculation about the next L-G of Jammu and Kashmir, and the position ultimately went to Manoj Sinha, a seasoned politician from Ghazipur. It was clear though that Murmu was going to replace Rajiv Mehrishi, the outgoing CAG. Murmu, as official records show, was born on November 21, 1959. So he will be on the post of CAG till he attains the age of 65, according to rules, or for a maximum period of six years. This means that Murmu’s tenure as CAG may last till November 21, 2025. This is the first time that a Gujarat cadre officer has assumed the post. Also, while independent India had seen 13 CAGs before him (the position was established by the British in 1858), Murmu will be the first from a tribal community. And the credit for this will certainly go to PM Modi. Murmu comes from Mayurbhanj district of Odisha. He is the oldest among eight brothe...
