Deendayal Port plays a major role in the country’s international trade. Having notched up a string of success, it has emerged as a forerunner, and has carved a niche for itself, by its steady growth and economy of operations.

In the current scenario of emerging economy, competition is one of the challenges for the organisations to sustain the growth and also remain at top at the same time.  Deendayal Port being a government run port, there is a greater responsibility rests on its shoulder of ensuring accountability, fairness and transparency in all its operations.  The standards and norms set by the Government of India and various watchdog agencies like Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and so on are precisely meant to achieve this objective of good governance through transparency and public accountability.  Nevertheless, these norms should not be viewed as the stumbling blocks in the race of competition.  It is in this context, in order to overcome such situations, the Central Vigilance Commission has been guiding organisations from time to time and emphasizing the need for sensitization of Stakeholders including the officials.  The Vigilance Awareness Week being observed at the behest of the CVC every year has made a tremendous impact in this direction, particularly with the Commission focusing on different themes every year, the recent ones being ‘Public Procurement’ and ‘Participative Vigilance’, Public Procurement & Promoting good Governance – positive Contribution of Vigilance.  

Recognizing  this , the Vigilance Department of Deendayal Port has started in house sensitization programs.  To further the impact of such programs, a series of lectures by inviting eminent personalities to create awareness and empower the official has also been started by this Department.

After all ” A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step….” and thus Vigilance Department, DPA is determined to make positive contribution to the organization in all possible ways.
