Abstract

Vigilance in any government organisation ensures that a check is kept upon the activities of officers in authority so that the purpose of such department/ ministry/ authority is safeguarded from corrupt practices by such officials which might break the integrity in their official transactions and affect general public at large. Vigilance is required to ensure clear and prompt administrative action in order to sustain the effectiveness and efficiency of the workforce and the organisation as a whole. Lack of awareness frequently causes waste, losses, and economic decline. The Central Vigilance Commission was formed in 1964 in order to counteract corruption it was done in accordance with the suggestions of the Committee on the Prevention of Corruption. The committee was headed by Shri K. Santhanam Committee whose purpose was to advise and direct Central Government agencies. Corruption is one of the primary issues that people in a country are usually worried about.
