The use of Information Technology in fighting corruption can prove to be a real solution when people are more than engaged into their private lives and don’t really find the time to participate in such activities for national interest. However, people do manage to take out time to be online for activities like checking email etc. The corruption watch-dog in India has finally recognised this aptitude and hence implemented solutions under the Vigeye Project to let people file their complaints through the Online platform in an interactive yet easy manner.

What is so different about being Online?

It is even true that departments like CVC and others did have email IDs and basic complaint systems built online, however with the Project Vigeye the complainant has been empowered to track their complaint in real-time and know its status online with no need to follow up specifically with the agency. Infact a mobile application has been developed for common platforms like Symbian for easy and quick recording of complaints in all possible formats including Photographs and Videos as well.

CVC is an autonomous agency and does not come under any politician or political body just like TRAI and SEBI. Moreover, these efforts largely depends on Internet users like us whether we use these services to the full extent or not.
