The Central Vigilance Commission celebrates Vigilance Awareness Week from 27 October to 2 November.

This awareness week campaign reaffirms the government’s commitment to promoting honesty in public life through citizen participation.
In 2020, Vigilance Awareness Week is being observed from October 27 to November 2, 2020 with the theme ‘Vigilant India, Prosperity India’.
The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions said, “The Commission believes that corruption is a major impediment to the progress of the nation. All sections of society need to be vigilant to maintain integrity in all aspects of our national life.”
The Commission wants all organizations to focus on internal (housekeeping) activities, which have been added to the Vigilance Awareness Week campaign this year. This includes improving internal processes, timely disposal of work and taking advantage of systemic improvements.
It emphasizes on making all processes transparent, including payment to outsourced employees, allocation of houses, digitization of assets including land records and ejecting old records by following prescribed procedures and existing regulations.
