OTHER IMPORTANT EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS

As a part of Vigilance Awareness Week, IIMV jointly with HPCL celebrated the event alongside students on
5th November 2022 held at IIMV’s permanent campus (Gambheeram). Shri Sanjoy Sen, DSP, CBI; Shri S
Bhauprakash, DGM (Retail), HPCL; and Shri K Srinivasu, Chief Manager (Vigilance), HPCL were the
dignitaries who graced the event. Faculty, and staff of IIMV also attended this event.

The guests addressed the students and emphasised the significance of young people speaking out against
corruption and preventing its growth not just in the public but also in the private sector. Corruption has deep
roots in systems that pose serious threats to the prosperity of a society or nation, despite being invisible.

Previously, on behalf of the Institute, the Vatsalya Club
(Students Affairs Council) organised competitions such as
poster making, essay writing, and quizzes for all students, for
which the winners were awarded by the Institute and HPCL.
HPCL had earlier installed a kiosk to facilitate free Integrity
E-pledge certificates for the benefit of all. The ArtQuake Club
sang lovely tunes and filled the air with energy and optimism.

Prof. Deepika Gupta, CVO of the Institute, concluded the
ceremony with a vote of thanks.
