For fulfilling the task of the creating a corruption free India it is essential that we all are vigilant, said the Chief Minister (CM) of Uttarakhand Trivendra Singh Rawat while addressing a one day workshop titled ‘My Aim- a corruption free India’ at ANM Ghosh Auditorium at Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) campus on Wednesday.
The programme was organised as part of the week long vigilance awareness week- 2017. The CM said that a corruption free India can only be possible when everyone shows keen awareness about it. On a philosophical note, he said that it is difficult to shun corruption in our own life as long as we fail to keep our lives controlled. Emphasizing the importance of sacrifice, Rawat said that people who sacrifice something are always respected. Giving example of Maharshi Dadhichi, he said that the saint laid down his life for sake of the humanity. Similarly lord Ram set up an example by adopting an ideal life style. Rawat added that his government has adopted a policy of zero tolerance on corruption.
