Coordinated by Dr. Sanchita Ghosh Choudhary, Associate Professor and IQAC Coordinator, the celebration began with an assembly where all participants, including faculty, staff, and students, solemnly pledged to uphold and practice vigilance in their daily lives.

Fr. Dr. E. A. Francis, Principal of XITE College, delivered a compelling speech underscoring the critical role of vigilance in combating corruption and nurturing ethical values within society.

The day unfolded with a Slogan Writing Competition in both English and Hindi. Eshika Mishra of BA English claimed the top position in the English category, with Manoj Marandi, also from BA English, securing the second spot. In the Hindi Slogan Writing competition, Shruti Purty from BBA stood first, and Khokan Chandra Mahato, also from BBA, secured the second position.

A highlight of the celebration was a thought-provoking talk show themed "Say NO to Corruption, Commit to the Nation." Colonel Vinay Ahuja, Commanding Officer of 37 Jharkhand Battalion, NCC Jamshedpur, graced the event as the Chief Guest and speaker. Colonel Ahuja enlightened the audience on the significance of vigilance, the Prevention of Corruption Act, the Government e-Marketplace (GEM), and the Public Interest Disclosure and Protection of Informers (PIDPI) scheme, among other crucial aspects.

The celebration served not only as a day of reflection but as a collective stride towards promoting vigilance awareness and contributing to the development of a just, prosperous, and corruption-free society.
