'Be Vigilant When on Air Duty'

Chennai: In a lecture on ‘Preventive vigilance as a tool for good governance’ held for Air India officials as part of the Vigilance Week celebrations, C L Ramakrishnan, a former DGP said, “One needs to be vigilant not just for the company, but yourself as its your integrity which is at stake when on duty,” Breaking his seminar into three parts, Ramakrishnan took the officials through the definition of vigilance and being vigilant, what the present situation was and how one could achieve 100 per cent vigilance. “What is necessary for a crime? O1 + O2 +O3, where O1 is the object, O2, offender and O3, the opportunity which translates into O4 — the offence.

“If few of the above factors can be controlled, it would show success in preventing a crime,” said Ramakrishnan, detailing the equation of how crimes come about. “In an ideal world, one can expect all three of these problems not to exist, which is not possible. But it can be pruned which helps in reducing the damage of corruption in an organisation, An intelligent man can take advantage of a situation where there is a difference between the rule book and the on-ground situation,” said Ramakrishnan giving an example of an out-dated rule book in his working days that had a few obsolete clauses on prisoner transfer during the British Raj.
