Vigilance Awareness Week 2023 was observed by the Border Security Force (BSF) in Meghalaya from October 30 to November 5.
The theme was ‘Say no to Corruption; Commit to the Nation’.
The observance began with all ranks of the BSF and their families taking the ‘Integrity Pledge’. A series of events were conducted to raise awareness among students, the general public, the border population and BSF personnel about the menace of corruption, which hinders the progress of both society and the nation.
As part of these events, debates, essay writing, drawing competitions, lectures, workshops and presentations for BSF troops took place in several schools and extended to border outposts. The BSF also conducted various Gram Sabhas in different border districts of Meghalaya.
During the occasion, special attention was given to making the public aware of the ‘PIDPI’ (Public Interest Disclosure and Protection of Informers) provision, which ensures the safety and confidentiality of whistleblowers or complainants fighting against corruption, a BSF press release said today.
