The central government will ask all ministries if one Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) can take care of two or more organizations as it is planning to cut down on the number of such officers in Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs).

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) also wants the ministries to review extra pay, incentives, pay structure and allowances to CVOs in the government undertakings, reported PTI.

A letter seeking details about CVOs has been sent by DoPT to the Central Vigilance Commission, which would forward it to all the ministries.

The ministries have been asked if a full-time CVO was required in organisations under their administrative control and give their opinion if the post of CVO of two or more organisations can be clubbed together.

The ministries, who have asked to submit their response in 15 days, were also asked to furnish details about their staff strength, the volume of vigilance work in the PSEs and also their turnover in the last five years.

There are 297 PSEs--234 operating and 56 non-operating. Seven public sector undertakings belong to insurance and banking sector.

The ministries have also been asked to suggest if they wanted the post of CVOs to be continued at the current level, upgraded or downgraded or abolished in tune with the workload and requirement of vigilance-related matters.
