About Vigilance Awareness Week:
The Vigilance Awareness Week is being observed by the Central Vigilance Commission every year from October 27 to November 2. This is observed every year during the week in which Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s birthday falls (October 31).
In 2020, this week will be observed with the theme ‘Vigilant India, Prosperous India’. It has been finalized after putting the suggestive themes on the website and then obtaining the opinion of officers on the proposed theme of this year.
The week is observed as the commission believes that corruption is a major hindrance to the progress of India and all the sections of the society need to be vigilant. The Central Vigilance Commission plans that all the organisations must focus on internal activities which include internal processes, improvements leveraging technologies, and time-bound disposal of work.
The emphasis is to make all the processes transparent, including house allotments, payment to outsourced workers digitization, and updation of assets.
