Vigilance Awareness Week 2025: Vijayawada Division Leads Integrity Pledge and Awareness Drive

 

As part of Vigilance Awareness Week 2025, the Vijayawada Division of South Central Railway reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical governance by organising a series of activities under the theme “Say No to Corruption; Commit to the Nation” on 22^nd October 2025.

The programme commenced with the Integrity Pledge at 11:00 hours in the DRM Office, where officers and staff members collectively pledged to uphold honesty, fairness, and good corporate governance in all spheres of work.

Following the pledge, a Vigilance Awareness Walkathon was conducted from the DRM Office to the Gandhi Waiting Hall on Platform No. 1, passing via Jack and Jill School. The walkathon symbolised the Division’s dedication to spreading awareness on integrity and vigilance among employees and the general public.

At the Gandhi Waiting Hall, the Bharat Scouts and Guides presented an engaging street play on ‘VigilanceOrganisation’, highlighting the importance of individual responsibility and collective action in building a corruption-free society.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Mohit Sonakiya, Divisional Railway Manager, Vijayawada Division, said, “Integrity is not just a principle—it is the foundation of public trust. Through initiatives like Vigilance Awareness Week, we remind ourselves that transparency and ethical conduct are essential for the progress of our Organisation and the Nation. Each employee has a role to play in ensuring that honesty and fairness guide every action we take.”

The event concluded with renewed enthusiasm among employees to contribute towards a corruption-free, transparent, and accountable work environment, in line with the ethos of Vigilance Awareness Week 2025.
