Meanwhile, the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), in collaboration with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), will conduct a nationwide essay writing competition as part of Vigilance Awareness Week, to be observed from October 27 to November 2.
The competition, themed “Vigilance: Our Understanding, Our Responsibility”, will be open to students from Classes 9 to 12. Essays, limited to 500-600 words, may be written in Hindi or English, with a duration of one hour. Original ideas and intellectual honesty will be given special emphasis.
Entries will be evaluated at three levels: school, regional, and national. The top three essays from each school will be uploaded on the CBSE portal and shortlisted at the regional level. From there, the best essays will be assessed nationally, with the top five entries forwarded to the CVC. Winners at the school level will also be honoured during Vigilance Awareness Week celebrations.
