Vigilance is a Way of Life: Telangana DG Shikha Goel
Imagine a special week where people talk about being honest and doing the right thing.
Shikha Goel, a leader in Telangana, said that being honest shouldn't just be for one week, but all year round!
She shared stories about people like the Delhi Metro builder and the 'Milkman of India' who were very honest and hardworking.
They built great things because they were dedicated and transparent.
Shikha Goel also said that just being honest isn't enough; you need to be active and do your job well.
She believes that using technology can help make services clearer and prevent people from being dishonest.
Shikha Goel emphasized that vigilance and ethical standards are crucial in both professional and personal life.
She stated that vigilance should be a continuous commitment, not just limited to a single week.
Examples of integrity and dedication were cited, including Dr E Sreedharan for the Delhi Metro and Dr Verghese Kurien for the White Revolution.
Goel highlighted that honesty without action can be a form of negligence.
The effective use of technology can promote transparent services and reduce corruption.
