Minister Credits Governance Reforms, Digital Monitoring and Timely Disposal for Sharp Decline in Pendency
NEW DELHI, Aug 3: Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh on Sunday said that the pendency of vigilance-related cases in the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has witnessed a significant decline, coming down from more than 4,000 cases to nearly 700, attributing the achievement to sustained administrative reforms, technology-driven monitoring and a transparent governance framework under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing an official function, Dr. Jitendra said the drastic reduction in pending vigilance matters reflects the Centre’s commitment to ensuring accountability, transparency and efficiency in public administration. He noted that continuous monitoring of disciplinary proceedings, time-bound disposal of cases and strengthened institutional mechanisms have accelerated the pace of decision-making.
The Union Minister said that the Government has introduced several systemic reforms to eliminate delays in vigilance inquiries while ensuring that honest officers are able to perform their duties without fear of unnecessary harassment. He stressed that prompt action against corruption, coupled with protection for sincere officials, has improved confidence across government departments.
Dr. Jitendra highlighted that digital governance initiatives, improved coordination with Chief Vigilance Officers (CVOs), and regular review of disciplinary cases have played a crucial role in reducing the backlog. He said these reforms have enhanced transparency, strengthened vigilance administration and ensured faster resolution of complaints.
He further said that governance reforms undertaken over the past several years have transformed the functioning of public institutions by making them more citizen-centric, efficient and accountable. According to the Minister, the Government remains committed to maintaining zero tolerance towards corruption while improving the overall efficiency of administrative systems.
Dr. Jitendra reiterated that the Centre will continue to strengthen vigilance mechanisms through technology, periodic reviews and institutional reforms to ensure timely disposal of cases and greater public trust in governance.(KNC)
