The strategy of preventive vigilance was drawn  and implemented to evolve an environment of integrity and to add values to the system for increasing transparency and accountability in the working. Steps have been taken to empower the general public to approach the concerned authorities  for redressal of their complaints, if any.

The Vigilance department  works  for systems improvement and simplification and codification of rules and procedures for the smooth functioning of the Society towards achievement of its mission. The culture of taking independent initiatives and decision-making at all levels is constantly strengthened. A system of six-monthly review of vigilance activities by Board of Directors has been implemented by the Society.
