NUMALIGARH: The weeklong observance of Vigilance Awareness Week 2022 at NRL on the theme, 'Corruption free India for a developed nation' from October 31 to November 6 culminated on Monday.
APDCL Chairman and former Chief Secretary, Government of Assam Jishnu Barua presided over the closing function as chief guest, which was attended by NRL MD B J Phukan; Director (Finance), Director Finance, NRL Indranil Mittra; Chief Vigilance Officer, Amit Saran, IRSME and NRL employees, their families and associated entities.
The chief guest in his speech congratulated NRL for adopting robust systems and procedures to combat corruption including achieving the status as top oil company in terms of procurement in GeM (Government E-marketplace) portal. Ethics, honesty, integrity and probity are difficult concepts to embrace and depend to a great extent on circumstances, family background and principles that have been inculcated over a period of time. Our country could add 1.5% GDP annually if its integrity index becomes comparable with those of Scandinavian countries that are least corrupt. As the organisation grows, vigilance should be value based one instead of one based on punitive action, he said.
