The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) will observe vigilance awareness week from Monday till November 2 to promote probity in public life, according to a statement issued by the Personnel Ministry.
"This awareness week campaign affirms our commitment to promotion of integrity and probity in public life through citizen participation," it said.
This year's theme for the vigilance awareness week is Integrity - A way of life".
The commission believes that this theme will help draw the attention of all sections of society, especially the youth, to the significance of ethical conduct in the building of an honest, non-discriminatory and corruption-free society, the statement said.
"Integrity and ethics form the foundational pillars of a nation and national development takes place when individuals and organisations are committed to integrity as a core value.
"Combating corruption is not just a matter of making laws and creating institutions, but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of individuals. Cultivating ethical values is essential for building a new India," it said
