It is an autonomous body, responsible for monitoring all vigilance activities under the union government. Its major role is to recommend government agencies in “planning, executing, reviewing and reforming” their vigilance capability. Central Government of India formed CVC in the year 1964 as an important body that could take into account the measures and steps to prevent all the corruptions especially the governmental ones for a better system and governance. CVC has been given several powers including its status to work independently as a major sovereign body which remains free from any type of control from the authorities. CVC came into existence after the reports submitted by Committee on Prevention of Corruption whose chairperson Mr. K. Santhanam had suggested for the formation of this Commission. Mr. Nittoor Srinivasa Rau was appointed as first Chief Vigilance Commissioner of India. It must be informed that Central Vigilance Commission is not an investigating agency. It operates in coalition with the CBI or the Departmental Chief Vigilance Officers. The only search that Central Vigilance Commission conducts is that of investigating Civil Works of the government, which is done through the Chief Technical Officer. Before Central Vigilance Commission can take up investigations into corruption cases against government officials, it has to be approved by the government. The Central Vigilance Commission also publishes list of corrupt officials and recommends punitive action against them. Ritik Sharma (17040142049) BBA.LLB (2017-22) 4th Semester
