What is the theme of Vigilance Awareness Week 2026?
- A.Probity for Prosperity
- B.Vigilance for Viksit Bharat
- C.Integrity and Transparency
- D.Say No to Corruption
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Probity for Prosperity, given in Hindi as Satyanishtha se Samriddhi. That is the theme chosen by the Central Vigilance Commission for the week observed from 26 October to 1 November 2026, and it connects honesty in public office with national prosperity. Vigilance for Viksit Bharat is not this theme, though it sounds plausible because of the wider development slogan. Integrity and Transparency is a general phrase and not the theme of this observance. Say No to Corruption was used in an earlier form of the campaign and is a classic distractor in question papers, so candidates should fix the current wording in memory. Along with the theme, remember that the week opened with the integrity pledge taken at Satarkata Bhawan in New Delhi, administered by Central Vigilance Commissioner A. S. Rajeev with Vigilance Commissioner Praveen Vashista.
