Leading the state-level event for Vigilance Awareness Week 2026 in Bhubaneswar, the Chief Minister administered the integrity pledge, underscoring the government's unwavering commitment to cleaning up the system.
Prosperity Through Integrity
The observance of Vigilance Awareness Week, which runs from October 26 to November 1, is being marked with a series of programs across the entire state of Odisha. This year, the campaign is centered around the powerful theme, "Prosperity through Integrity."
Addressing the gathering, CM Majhi emphasized that the fight against corruption is not just about policing, but about fostering a culture of honesty. He identified three critical pillars that will drive this mission:
- Strong Ethics: Establishing a moral compass within the administration.
- Complete Cleanliness: Ensuring transparency in every government transaction.
- Unwavering Integrity: Maintaining honesty as the primary weapon against malpractice.
The Link Between Honesty and Development
The Chief Minister pointed out that the success of government schemes is directly tied to the integrity of the administration. He argued that for welfare programs to reach the intended beneficiaries without leakage, the machinery of the state must be entirely corruption-free.
"Making the administration completely corruption-free is our primary goal for the success of government schemes. Therefore, the government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against corruption," stated Chief Minister Majhi.
A State-Wide Movement
The event in Bhubaneswar serves as the anchor for a broader movement occurring throughout Odisha. By organizing programs at various levels, the state aims to raise public awareness and encourage citizens to stand against corrupt practices, ensuring that the vision of "Prosperity through Integrity" becomes a reality for every resident of the state.
