“ Vigilance panel to roll out Integrity
Index “
The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) expects to roll out
the “integrity index”
that is being worked out with IIM-Ahmedabad by January next year, on a pilot
basis, Chief Vigilance Commissioner KV Chowdary said here today.
Chowdary, said the Commission
is suggesting the investigating agencies to use online systems to collect data from
banks, Income Tax department and Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), among
others.
MEASURE OF EFFICIENCY
“Integrity Index is to measure what kind of robust process each
organisation has and how they are implemented. It is a kind of measure of
efficiency and also the performance outcome of the organisation vis-a-vis its services.
PERCEPTION INDEX
“It is not corruption index. It is the perception index on how people perceive the
organisation. That hopefully we will be able to do some time by December or
January,” Chowdary told reporters.
According to him, the index will initially be calculated
for 25 organisations, of various categories such as government departments and PSUs and bodies
like Medical Council of India and later extended to all other organisations.
“These sources are tapped and one
nodal agency in each department is identified to supply data (to the
investigating agency),” he said about the new initiatives suggested by the CVC in
corruption and disproportionate assets cases.
