What the report makes clear: Odisha is observing Vigilance Awareness Week from October 26 to November 1 under the theme "Prosperity through Integrity," with the Chief Minister leading the state event.

Still open: The report does not yet say what specific measures, targets or follow-up actions the zero-tolerance policy involves.

Another way to look at it: Awareness campaigns rely on public participation, so how citizens and officials respond may matter as much as the pledge itself.

What practical steps would you like to see follow this anti-corruption pledge?
