Cuttack,19/9/2022 ( Odisha Samachar )-A two day Training on anti-corruption laws for Direct Recruit OPS (Group-A) Officers is being conducted at State Vigilance Academy, Bhubaneswar. 30 OPS (Group-A) Officers are undergoing the training. The training programme was inaugurated today by Shri Sunil Kumar Bansal, IPS, Director General of Police, Odisha, Cuttack as Chief Guest and Shri Y.K. Jethwa, IPS, Director, Vigilance, Odisha, Cuttack as Guest of Honour.
The Director, Vigilance, Odisha, Cuttack in his inaugural address highlighted the importance of Transparency and Good Governance as a part of 5T framework of the State. He added that the government has a robust anticorruption focus with thrust on transparency and zero tolerance to corruption. He urged the officers to ensure high probity in their personal conduct and ensure transparency and corruption free service delivery to the people of the state. He hoped that the training module which will provide inputs on Anti-Corruption Laws, Role of Sub-divisional Police Officers in Preventive Vigilance, Odisha Lokayukta Act, 2014, Vigilance Case laws and Departmental Proceedings, Sanction of Prosecution under P.C. Act etc. will help them bring in credibility and transparency in day to day work. He highlighted that, based on the strong support of Govt of Odisha with a motto of zero tolerance to corruption, Odisha Vigilance has achieved national level recognition in its Anti Corruption work. As per the recent NCRB publication, Crime In India 2021, Odisha Vigilance was number one among all State Anti Corruption Agencies in the Country in detection and registration of Disproportionate Assets cases and Criminal Misconduct/ Misappropriation cases, as well as among the top performers in disposal, conviction, dismissal and most other parameters.
Shri Sunil Kumar Bansal, IPS, Director General of Police, Odisha, Cuttack appreciated the proactive and professional approach of Odisha Vigilance which has blossomed into a highly competent anticorruption agency in the country. In 1857, after the First War of Independence, a review conducted by a British Commission identified, Inefficiency, Corruption and highhandedness as the main problems afflicting Indian Police. This led to the enactment of the Police Act, 1861. It addressed Efficiency but did not do much to address Corruption. Currently, Indian Police is rated highly efficient. But the perception still remains poor on issues of Corruption. Vigilance Organization is the key organization to address this issue and enhance the perception of society in this regard. The Government of Odisha has high priority for Transparency and Zero Tolerance to Corruption. It has ably supported the Anti corruption work of Odisha Vigilance. He urged the participants to utilize the training module to gather tools for enhancing Transparency and Preventive Vigilance in their day to day work.
The two day schedule includes focused modules on Preventive Vigilance, Anti Corruption Laws, Departmental Action against Corruption, Registration of FIR and Investigation of Trap Cases, Possession of Disproportionate Assets by Public Servants. Registration of FIR and Investigation of DA Case and Lokayukta System as well as case study based discussions with participation of eminent serving and Guest faculty including senior administrators and domain experts.
