Vigilance Awareness

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), established in 1964, is the apex governmental body responsible for promoting integrity, transparency, and accountability in India’s public administration. Its mission is to ensure that ethical conduct becomes an integral part of governance and that corruption is addressed through preventive and corrective measures.

What Is Vigilance Awareness Week?

The CVC, with the intention to strengthen their commitment to promote integrity, transparency, and accountability in India’s public administration, observes Vigilance Awareness Week every year, encouraging collective participation in the fight against corruption. The initiative aims to raise public consciousness about the need for integrity in both personal and professional spheres.

Building a Culture of Integrity

This year, Vigilance Awareness Week is being observed from October 27, 2025 to November 2, 2025 with the theme: “Culture of Integrity for Nation’s Prosperity.”
The observance highlights the importance of ethical conduct as a cornerstone of national progress. It encourages individuals and organisations to uphold transparency, accountability, and fairness in their day-to-day activities. By fostering a culture of integrity, the initiative aspires to build a society where honesty and good governance prevails.

The Integrity Pledge
As part of Vigilance Awareness Week, all citizens are invited to affirm their commitment to integrity by taking the Integrity Pledge. This pledge reflects a collective resolve to uphold the highest standards of honesty and to stand united against corruption.

The pledge reads as follows:

Integrity Pledge for Citizens
I believe that corruption has been one of the major obstacles to economic, political and social progress of our country. I believe that all stakeholders such as the government, citizens and private sector need to work together to eradicate corruption. I realize that every citizen should be vigilant and commit to the highest standards of honesty and integrity at all times and support the fight against corruption. I, therefore, pledge:

• To follow probity and rule of law in all walks of life;
• To neither take nor offer bribe;
• To perform all tasks in an honest and transparent manner;
• To act in public interest;
• To lead by example exhibiting integrity in personal behaviour;
