Administration and Vigilance

The Administration and Vigilance Division is headed by a Deputy Secretary. The administration includes human resource management, personnel service matters of the employees of the departments, cadre management of Central Secretariat Services, Central Secretariat Clerical Services, Central Secretariat Stenographers Services, housekeeping, coordination, IT related matters and RTI.

The vigilance activities of the Department extend not only to the Department but also to that of 9 Public Sector Undertakings. The departmental vigilance set up is headed by a Joint Secretary who is designated as the Chief Vigilance Officer of the Department. The CVO of the Department is assisted by a Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary and other vigilance staff. The Department supervises the vigilance activities within the framework provided by the Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC). The Department plays a pro-active role in ensuring the prompt disposal of vigilance cases and in framing preventive guidelines. This helps in minimizing the occurrence of vigilance cases. Efforts are made by the Department to simplify the procedures in the PSUs to make them work in a transparent manner. This reduces the chances of corruption.

The Depty Secretary (A & V) is assisted by four under-secretaries.
