PIDPI and the role of the Chandigarh Vigilance Cell

The Chandigarh Vigilance Cell’s awareness workshops on Vigilance Awareness Week were aimed at educating government employees about the dangers of corruption and how to report it anonymously and confidentially through the PIDPI mechanism.

The PIDPI mechanism is an important tool for combating corruption, as it allows people to report wrongdoing without fear of reprisal. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has a dedicated PIDPI cell that handles complaints from all over India.

To file a PIDPI complaint, the complainant should simply write a letter to the Secretary, CVC, and enclose any supporting evidence. The letter should be marked “PIDPI” and the complainant’s name and address should NOT be mentioned on the envelope. The complainant’s name and address should only be mentioned in the letter inside, in a closed cover.

The CVC will investigate all PIDPI complaints and take appropriate action. The complainant’s identity will be kept strictly confidential.

The Chandigarh Vigilance Cell’s awareness workshops were a valuable opportunity for government employees to learn about the PIDPI mechanism and how to use it to report corruption. The workshops also helped to create a culture of integrity and accountability within the government.

Here are some additional details about the PIDPI mechanism:

• The PIDPI mechanism is available to all citizens, not just government employees.
• Complaints can be filed in person, by mail, or online.
• The CVC has a dedicated PIDPI helpline that can be used to get more information about the mechanism and to file a complaint.
• The CVC takes all PIDPI complaints seriously and investigates them thoroughly.
• The CVC has a zero-tolerance policy for corruption.

The PIDPI mechanism is a valuable tool for combating corruption and protecting the public interest. By reporting wrongdoing through the PIDPI mechanism, citizens can help to make India a more honest and just society.
