Practical Example
An audit team reviews the National Afforestation Programme, examining whether the Ministry's target of planting 2 million hectares of degraded forest land was met. They find that while budgets were fully utilized, only 60% of the target area was actually planted, and survival rates of planted saplings were below 40%, indicating poor programme effectiveness.
