VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

Controller General of Accounts Vigilance Journal 2016

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

Controller General of Accounts Vigilance Journal 2016

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

3 Organizing debatesessay writing competitions on moral values ethics

good governance practices etc amongst the employee

4 Organizing lectures

5 Bring out special issue of journal in second consecutive year

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK 2016

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Central Vigilance Commission as the apex integrity institution of the country

endeavours to promote integrity transparency and accountability in public life

Observance of Vigilance Awareness Week every year is one such outreach

measure wherein all the stake holders are encouraged to prevent and combat

corruption The Commission has decided that this year the Vigilance

Awareness Week would be observed from 31st October to 5th November 2016

with the theme ldquoPublic participation in promoting integrity and eradicating

corruptionrdquo

Corruption is a serious unethical practice that undermines trust and

confidence in public officials and public confidence can only be gained by

integrity in governance Economic and social progress rule of law

democratic values and a strong civil society are some of the basic

prerequisites in building an integrity system to sustain the fight against

corruption in society In order to attain a corruption free society all stake

holders including government citizens and also the private sector must share

the responsibility for creation of awareness of corruption as well as refrain

from indulging in unethical acts

Aware active involved and empowered public is therefore essential to any

anti-corruption campaign Anti-corruption strategies are not simply policies

that can be planned in advance and isolation but often a set of subtler

insights that can be developed only in conjunction with public participation

Combating corruption is therefore not just a matter of making laws and

creating institutions but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of

individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizensrsquo

support participation and active vigilance by all concerned The Commission

has therefore chosen ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and

eradicating Corruptionrdquo as the central theme for Vigilance Awareness Week

2016

This year also we are organising following activities during Vigilance

awareness Week

1 Commencement with pledge

2 Displaying banners posters etc at prime locations in office

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Controller General of Accounts Vigilance Journal 2016

This year the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week is ldquoPublic participation in promoting Integrity and eradicating Corruptionrdquo

Santhanam Committee while outlining the preventive measures that should be taken to significantly reduce corruption had identified four major causes of corruption viz (i) administrative delays (ii) Government taking upon themselves more than what they can manage by way of regulatory functions (iii) scope for personal discretion in the exercise of powers vested in different categories of government servants and (iv) cumbersome procedures of dealing with various matters which are of importance to citizens in their day to day affairs The CVO is thus expected to take following measures on preventive vigilance side (i) To undertake a study of existing procedures and practices prevailing in his

organisation with a view to modifying those procedures or practices which provide a scope for corruption and also to find out the causes of delay the points at which delay occurs and devise suitable steps to minimize delays at different stages

(ii) To undertake a review of the regulatory functions with a view to see whether all of them are strictly necessary and whether the manner of discharge of those functions and exercise of powers of control are capable of improvement

(iii) To devise adequate methods of control over exercise of discretion so as to ensure that discretionary powers are not exercised arbitrarily but in a transparent and fair manner

(iv) To educate the citizens about the procedures of dealing with various matters and also to simplify the cumbersome procedures as far as possible

(v) To identify the areas in his organisation which are prone to corruption and to ensure that the officers of proven integrity only are posted in those areas

(vi) To prepare a list of officers of doubtful integrity-The list would include names of those officers who after inquiry or during the course of inquiry have been found to be lacking in integrity such as (a) officer convicted in a Court of Law on the charge of lack of integrity or for an offence involving moral turpitude but who has not been imposed a penalty of dismissal removal or compulsory retirement in view of exceptional circumstances (b) awarded departmentally a major penalty on charges of lack of integrity or gross dereliction of duty in protecting the interest of government although corrupt motive may not be capable of proof (c) against whom proceedings for a major penalty or a court trial is in progress for alleged acts involving lack of integrity or moral turpitude and (d) who was prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds as there remained a reasonable suspicion about his integrity

(vii) To prepare the ldquoagreed listrdquo in consultation with the CBI- This list will include the names of officers against whose honesty or integrity there are complaints doubts or suspicions

(viii) To ensure that the officers appearing on the list of officers of doubtful integrity and the agreed list are not posted in the identified sensitivecorruption prone areas

(ix) To ensure periodical rotations of staff and (x) To ensure that the organisation has prepared manuals on important subjects

such as purchases contracts etc and that these manuals are updated from time to time and conform to the guidelines issued by the Commission

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

Eternal Vigilancemdashthe price of Eternal Development

Vigilance as the dictionary say is the process of paying close and

continuous attention Keeping our self vigilant is very important for our own development and in turn development of the society of which we

are a part

To begin from our own self being vigilant implies awareness of our own

steps which we take in our daily life In the process of keeping ourself

vigilant we assessmonitor our self and make corrections wherever possible and mend it for the future In this way being vigilant helps us to

be confident leading to better understanding of our own self which is the

key towards development

Similarly we can speak vigilance in the context of our work place This

means that we should not only be vigilant on our own duties but also about our duties Being vigilant goes beyond our list of duties Apart

from assessing our own duties it involves making others aware of their

duty and helping them to perform better This will strengthen the bond

among the peers and the seniors as well and will lead to eternal growth

of the organization

Now coming to a much broader aspect is our society of which we are

an integral part Being vigilant in the society implies keeping ourself

aware and alert about the current situation and taking right action at the

right moment It also involves being mentally and physically prepared to

react in a positive way to changing conditions It means not letting

anything wrong to happen in our surroundings We canrsquot claim ourself to be developed unless our society is developed

To sum up being vigilant is a continuous and natural process that will

definitely lead to overall development It is rightly said that lsquoEternal

Vigilance is the price of Eternal Developmentrsquo

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

Vigilance and Corruption

Being vigilant helps an organization to be prepared watchful and aware of

happenings in the organization Vigilance is not just about investigation but a tool to fight

corruption An organization protects itself from external dangers through creating security

and deploying manpower to guard against such threats The role of vigilance is to protect an

organization from internal dangers which are more serious than external threats Vigilance

can be enhanced through e-governance which provides access to information for

empowering the citizen Thus a vigilant employee would improve the effectiveness and

delivery of Government programs

Corruption is the result of a poor governance system It is characterized by lack of

both transparency and accountability Countries successful at curbing corruption have a long

tradition of Government openness freedom of press transparency and access to

information Corruption lowers investment and hinders economic growth as well as human

development It also limits access to basic social services as well as increases the cost of

their delivery It is one of the factors responsible for poverty Corruption negatively

challenges the financial system and undermines the legitimacy of the state Thus corruption

is anti- poor anti- development anti- growth and anti- investment The cost of corruption to a

nation is very high Corruption strongly checks the growth of the country So far as the

globally acclaimed Transparency Internationalrsquos Corruption Perception Index for the year

2015 is concerned India stood at 76th rank as a nation

Conclusively through an effective vigilance system we may not only achieve the

delivery of services in time but effectively manage the cost of inflation caused due to delay

on construction projects where corruption is one of the underlying reasons Strengthening

citizens and empowering them to hold Government accountable is a sustainable approach

that helps build a mutual trust between citizens and Government Community monitoring

initiatives have in many cases contributed to the detection of corruption reduced leakage of

funds and improved quality of public services Corruption watchdog institutions may also be

strengthened to ensure timely punitive actions to reflect a message within the employees to

refrain themselves to deal with unethical means

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption

The Deceived

lsquoWhere there is a will there is a wayrsquo

lsquoTwas what thou strongly adhered

Facing the brunt of injustice and discrimination

Thou still continued to be a good son

Believing thinel will one day materialise the dream of a just nation

Alas thou failed to empathise the exploited

When in thine hands the power vested

Depriving and discriminating the same way

Thou were deprived and discriminated

Oh The nation weeps to see you corrupted

Complacently you continue to live on

The plight of the poor thou abandon

Enjoying the feeling that thou once disgusted

Thou say to thineself ldquoStolen water is sweet

Food eaten in secret is deliciousrdquo

Thou have become the Deceived

The victim of the great deceiver the Corruption

Vigilance awareness ndash a tool to prevent corrupt practices

At one time not long ago just a few decades back to indulge in corrupt

practices was something to be ashamed of and the individuals indulging in such

practices were singled out Of course corruption was there at time also but it was

a rare phenomena This was so because the fear of being punished and being

exposed always hovered in their minds

However with passage of time corruption has become a way of life for some

public servants forcing the general public to pay bribe to obtain free Government

services There is a murmur among the general public that the public servant with

more powers earn more money in terms of bribes than those with less powers This

system has to go But how Vigilance awareness is an effective tool to prevent

corrupt practices

Vigilance awareness in the life of a person should start from the school days

so that youngsters can be taught about the ways to deal with corruption The

students should be aware of the prevalent corruption in society and the ways to

tackle this evil They should be actively involved in vigilance awareness by

conducting activities such as lectures debates discussions essay writing and

slogan and poster competitions This will help them to be free from corruption when

they grow up and also to prevent others from indulging in corrupt practices This is

important because whatever behaviour and attitudes we habituate in children will

remain with them throughout their life

Active public participation is very important to prevent corruption The public

especially the young generation of India must come forward to prevent such

misconducts Their participation can be ensured through holding of public meetings

by Offices and Departments at regular intervals where they can raise corruption-

related issues fearlessly with the Departmental heads Because of many

constraints most of the corrupt practices go unnoticed and the Departments are not

able to take corrective measures But if public participation is ensured they can

expose the corrupt activities of the employees and the Department can initiate action

against them as also take preventive action to stop such happenings in future Such

participation will also help the people to enhance their trust and confidence in

Government and the employees This will also instil a sense of fear among the

corrupt public servants thereby promoting integrity in them and helping in

eradication of the social evil of corruption
