VIGILANCE OFFICE IIT KANPUR

The Vigilance Week at IITK commenced with an oath taking ceremony on 1st November 2004 in which the Head of the Departments and Centres participated. Speaking on the occasion the Institute Chief Vigilance Officer Prof. A.K. Sinha said that Vigilance is an important prerequirement for effective management of any organization. Although an Educational Institution cannot possibly run on pattern of a police or defence organization. However, we must adopt preventive measures as far as possible. The Director of the Institute Prof. S.G. Dhande gave the assurance that probably not all officers become aware of all the actions taken by the Institute or the top officials but that does not mean that Institute is lacking in its efforts, awareness and management, of vigilance issues. The key functionaries of the Institution make all possible efforts to keep the Institutional activities devoid of corruption. Prof. Dhande also gave away the Prizes to the participants and the winners of an essay competition that was organized by the vigilance office on the occasion.
