NLCIL Concludes Vigilance Awareness Campaign 2026 with Grand Function

NLC India Limited (NLCIL) concluded its three-month Vigilance Awareness Campaign and Vigilance Awareness Week 2026 with a valedictory function at Neyveli on November 12. Organised around the Central Vigilance Commission’s theme, “Probity for Prosperity”, the event was attended by CMD Dr. Prasanna Kumar Acharya, Functional Directors Dr. Suresh Chandra Suman (Mines), Thiru Samir Swarup (HR), Thiru Rajesh Pratap Singh Sisodia (P&P) and Thiru P L S S Chaitanya Prakash (Power), along with Chief Vigilance Officer Thiru Appakannu Govindarajan, IPoS.

During the ceremony, the CMD released a special edition of NLCIL’s vigilance magazine, Neyveli Vigil, in the presence of the Functional Directors and CVO.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Acharya appreciated the Vigilance Division’s efforts in conducting various outreach and preventive programmes. He stressed the need for transparency, accountability and visibility in organisational systems, with minimal manual intervention. He also highlighted the importance of updating contract manuals and operational procedures.

In his keynote address, Thiru Appakannu Govindarajan said the CVC’s 2026 guidelines placed greater emphasis on promoting integrity, honesty and probity rather than merely highlighting corruption. He appreciated public participation in activities such as Reels and Rangoli competitions, noting that even a local flower vendor had enthusiastically taken part. He also stressed capacity building, technological advancement and reducing procedural errors to support NLCIL’s expansion.

Dr. Suresh Chandra Suman recalled Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s contribution to nation-building and praised the CVO and Team Vigilance for organising an inclusive campaign.

CMD, Functional Directors and CVO distributed prizes to employees, students and members of the public, besides presenting the Most Vigilant Employee Award.
