The featured reforms include AI-enabled surveillance systems, the Integrated Command and Control Centre, the DigiCOAL platform, GPS-based vehicle tracking, RFID access controls, and the specialized Mission Zero Scrap initiative. These digital interventions are designed to eliminate pilferage, strengthen systemic monitoring, and improve operational governance. By implementing these advanced tracking frameworks, SECL continues to establish new benchmarks in corporate integrity for public sector enterprises.

The compendium also features DigiCOAL, SECL’s advanced digital platform that leverages drones, IoT, and AI for mine planning, monitoring, and land management, along with RFID-based DDU automation that prevents fuel theft through secure, AI-monitored dispensing. Additionally, the AI-powered Jatayu Dashboard, developed by SECL’s Vigilance & Systems Department, serves as a unified platform for accessing rules and circulars with an inbuilt chatbot for verified, rule-based assistance. These initiatives collectively reinforce SECL’s commitment to integrity, accountability, and technological innovation in preventive vigilance, aligning with the Ministry of Coal’s vision and the CVC’s mission for transparent governance.

During the session, participants engaged in discussions on their roles and responsibilities in fostering integrity and preventing corruption, with special emphasis on best practices for handling complaints under the Lokpal Act.

Bringing together 18 CVOs from various Delhi-based organizations and Vigilance officials from GAIL’s NCR offices, the workshop exemplified GAIL’s commitment to making vigilance preventive, proactive, and participative. The event reinforced the collective resolve to uphold integrity and foster a culture of transparency, aligning with the broader objectives of the Central Vigilance Commission’s campaign.

South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL) launched a three-month Preventive Vigilance Campaign on 18 August 2025 at its headquarters in Bilaspur, in line with directives from the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). The campaign was inaugurated by Shri P. Dayanand, Secretary to the  Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh (Department of Mineral Resources and Public Relations), and presided over by SECL CMD Shri Harish Duhan. Senior officials, including Bilaspur Division Commissioner Shri Sunil Jain, SECL Directors, and Chief Vigilance Officer Shri Himanshu Jain, were present on the occasion. The event began with lamp lighting, floral tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and the Integrity Pledge administered by the CMD.

The campaign, themed *“Vigilance: Our Shared Responsibility,”* will focus on five key areas — disposal of pending complaints and cases, capacity building, effective asset management, and promotion of digital initiatives for transparency. SECL has already implemented several measures to strengthen vigilance and efficiency, including third-party coal quality testing, CCTV surveillance, SAP-based bill tracking, digital tagging of assets, and platforms such as Jatayu Dashboard, DigiCoal, and the Integrated Command and Control Centre.
