knowAnd for a Friday of the Vigilance Awareness Week…. some thoughts….

Do most people care and are they aware that Oct 31st to 5th November is the Vigilance Awareness Week?

It is really important, cos the theme this year is “Public Participation in Promoting Integrity and Eradicating Corruption”.

Each one of us must partake in Nation Building. We cannot be just cynical and then hope that all will be well. It can’t be… we have to be part of the cleansing process.

The least you can do is to take the pledge to support the measures to improve Integrity. Visit cvc.nic.in.

Black money hoarders are, well, somewhat concerned. The noose is tightening, albeit slowly. KYCs, compulsory PAN numbers, Aadhar etc. etc. will start working. But the citizen must be Alert, Aware and Always willing to use Technology to curb Malpractices and ignorance.

My friend Arghya Sengupta and his fantastic team at Vidhi Centre have launched nyaaya.com a free portal explaining complex laws in simple English. It’s really nice.

About 62000 crores was declared under the recently closed Voluntary Declaration Scheme. They say this is only the tip, well, how big then is the Iceberg? Your guess as good as mine. But let’s join forces to fight Corruption…. the SEEGOS way.
