Focus Areas for Strengthening Vigilance Systems
Continuing its proactive approach from previous years, the Commission has launched a three-month pre-campaign spanning from August 18 to November 17, 2025. This initiative covers five key focus areas that are vital to improving administrative efficiency and public trust.
- Expeditious disposal of pending complaints received before June 30, 2025.
- Timely resolution of pending vigilance cases to ensure accountability.
- Conducting comprehensive capacity building programmes for vigilance officers.
- Effective asset management and monitoring mechanisms across departments.
- Promotion of digital initiatives to enhance transparency and reduce procedural delays.
According to the CVC, these focus areas aim to bring tangible improvements in governance, enabling faster resolution of cases, better record management, and efficient use of digital technology in public service delivery.
Workshop on AI and Emerging Technologies
As part of the week-long observance, the CVC will host a one-day national workshop on “AI and Emerging Technologies for Ethical Governance” on October 31, 2025. The workshop will explore how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics can be leveraged to strengthen preventive vigilance and ensure transparent decision-making across government institutions.
The Commission emphasized that the integration of AI-driven tools could significantly improve the detection of anomalies, track asset declarations, and automate compliance mechanisms marking a major leap toward digital governance.
Nationwide Participation Across Ministries
All Ministries, Departments, and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) have been directed to organize outreach activities during the campaign period. These include integrity pledge ceremonies, seminars, debates, quizzes, and public awareness drives to spread the message of ethical conduct and zero tolerance for corruption.
Several institutions are also expected to showcase success stories of internal reforms, best practices in complaint redressal, and the adoption of e-governance tools to simplify processes and enhance transparency.
Strengthening Collective Responsibility
Speaking at the inaugural event, Central Vigilance Commissioner Shri Praveen Kumar Srivastava reiterated that vigilance is not confined to a single department or individual. “Vigilance is our shared responsibility, and collective participation is key to building a corruption-free India,” he said. Vigilance Commissioner Shri A.S. Rajeev echoed this sentiment, urging government employees to adopt ethical practices in every aspect of their professional lives.
The CVC’s initiative reflects India’s ongoing effort to ensure good governance through integrity, accountability, and citizen participation. By combining awareness campaigns with digital and institutional reforms, the Commission aims to create a more transparent and responsible administrative ecosystem.
