The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has issued new guidelines on vigilance in Central government ministries, departments, and organizations. These guidelines clarify that financial and non-financial losses to a government department do not necessarily indicate corruption or malfeasance. The CVC emphasizes that no official should be retained in a sensitive position for an excessively long period, under the guise of indispensability.
According to the circular, a review and update of the list of sensitive posts is necessary due to the ever-changing scenario and increasing technology use in organizations. The guidelines also emphasize that officials in sensitive posts should be rotated every three years. The CVC stresses that the purpose of vigilance activities is to enhance managerial efficiency and effectiveness, not to reduce it.
