Vigilance centre gets more responsibility but not enough funds and personnel

The centre has been asked to conduct technical audits of all infrastructure projects worth over Rs100 million.

As per a new rule, all development projects whose estimated cost is over Rs100 million should be subjected to quality tests of their structures by the National Vigilance Centre. But it will not be easy for the Centre to conduct the tests on all such projects this fiscal year with the government allocating inadequate resources to the Centre.
