SEEGOS is a social enterprise comprising of volunteers working together and supporting each other from the Perils of Corruption.
We encourage honest, concerned citizens to promote accountability as well as promoting Ethics and Development.
To spread awareness to one million Indians from all walks of life, on the possibility of a developed India with focus on Ethics and Governance.
The objective of SEEGOS is to bring awareness to the targeted audience to change their attitude towards corruption.
Pledgees must commit to get at least five more people from their sphere of influence to join the SEEGOS Momentum and participate in nation building.
Pledgees from the four pillars of Indian democracy should become INFLUENCERS and ensure that they play their role as envisaged in the Indian Constitution.
Every Influencer must understand and appreciate that the only way India will survive, is as a pluralistic and inclusive democracy.
They set ethical standards to eliminate black money.
Pledgees will include people from the four pillars of the Indian democracy – Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and Media.
Influencers must work together to reduce the discretionary powers of the authorities in power and help enable a rule-based and not an entitlement-based society.
If we review corruption, our GDP growth will surpass 10% year on year and completely transform India.
By joining the SEEGOS Momentum, every citizen has to commit to individual integrity. Every professional recognizes that his/her contribution towards cleansing the society is not by being sceptical and recommendatory, but by taking positive action.
e-Governance initiatives available with statutory authorities must be used and publicised. Minimize interactions with government departments. Do not encourage middle-men and agents.
Familiarize yourself with government agencies, which are manned by good staff in your area of work and understand the various anti-corruption laws applicable to you. Avoid corrupt officers.
The RTI Act is based on the principle that all government information is the property of the people. Through RTI, every citizen has the right to get information on rules, expenditure, reason for taking decisions, copies of government orders, agreements and audit reports.
Identify a citizen journalist in your vicinity and use the cosmopolitan media to highlight the societal issues and share your solutions for the knowledge of all. Encourage local area networks to promote positive, good citizenship and cooperative living.
Share your individual success and experiences on fighting corruption through social media including Facebook and Twitter. Engage the youth and students in all activities and enable them to believe in the power of ethical behaviour.
