ANS: The Vigilance Department of Chandrapura Thermal Power Station (CTPS), a unit of the Damodar Valle Corporation (DVC), hosted a music event under the auspices of the Government of India’s PIDPI program at Chandrapura in Bokaro district on Thursday.
During the musical program, students from the Central School and Dinobli College charmed the audience with songs about a corruption-free India.
This ceremony marked the end of the three-month-long awareness campaign “Corruption Awareness Week 2023,” which runs from August 16 to November 15.
During the program, students used their music to convey powerful messages such as “Better to live by begging than to take bribes” and “Our parents educated us to become officers; today, it feels like we committed a great sin,” intending to instill vigilance and anti-corruption sentiment among officials and employees.
Speaking on the occasion, Sunil Kumar Pandey, Chief Superintendent and Project Head, praised the kids’ and mentors’ music, underlining its relevance. He asked people to recognize that some people live a life of deprivation, consuming less to survive, while dishonest people continue to abuse them. He emphasized that there is no bigger tragedy than this.
He reaffirmed his appeal for abolishing corruption, saying that a corruption-free India is the collective commitment of all. The Government of India has successfully created public awareness through the PIDPI program.
Pandey underlined the necessity of everyone working together to ensure that India is free of corruption.
Besides others, senior officials including Rampravesh Shah, Chief Superintendent, P.K. Mishra, Chief Superintendent, T.T. Das, Administrative Officer, K.K. Singh, Deputy Superintendent, Manavendra Priyadarshi, Dilip Kumar, Mahavir Thakur, Dr Paramveer Kumar, Vigilance Officer Rajkumar Chaudhary, Akshay Kumar and Suman Kumar were present in the event.
