As part of the ongoing Vigilance Awareness Week, the SCR is organising a series of competitions in elocution, essay writing and poster making to spread the message of ‘Corruption Free India’.
Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO), Engineering, D.A. Subramanyam, and Deputy CVO (Stores) Ankur Srivastava attended the programme as chief guests.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Subramanyam said the theme of observing Vigilance Awareness Week was to achieve the goal of ‘Transparency and Accountability in our Working System’.
He asked the employees to focus on sincerity, integrity and honesty.
The CVO presented vigilance case studies, showcasing the ways to find culprits of wrong doings by the officers and staff. Mr. Srivastava elucidated on how to identify the gaps in day-to-day work that leads to irregularities and how to prevent corruption.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
