A materialistic mindset breeds the seed of corruption and hence arises the need to bring about a change in the value system of society to help eradicate corruption,” said Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) CEO Ashwini Kumar, while addressing a gathering at the inaugural function of the Vigilance Awareness Week – 2017, held at HRD Centre of plant here.
Speaking further on the occasion, he said that the best way to achieve the reality of a corruption- free India is to help children internalise the values of integrity, transparency and sincerity.
Referring to the Purchase Contract Procedure (PCP), Kumar said the rules and procedures are laid to facilitate the working process. Proper justification and due diligence will make decision making easier and faster. He exhorted everyone to imbibe the principles of integrity and transparency like Sadar Vallabh Bhai Patel to make India corruption -free.
ED (Works) Subhendr Das highlighted the steps taken by the RSP such as the adoption of e-payment and online tendering and improvised system and procedures which are in line with the vision of a corruption -free India.
ED(MM) Paramananda Sahoo said that preventive vigilance is better than investigative vigilance. Referring to the process and procedures in place, ED (Projects) Rajiv Agarwal said that they should be implemented in the right spirit and right method.
A pledge taking ceremony was also organised in several departments as a part of observance of the Vigilance Awareness Week.
