One Commissioner and two colleagues: how the Central Vigilance Commission is built

Background

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) is the Union Government's institution for preventive vigilance and anti-corruption measures.
The Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003, provides for the appointment of a Central Vigilance Commissioner and two Vigilance Commissioners.
Appointments are made by the President of India under the power vested by Section 4 (1) of that Act.
The tenure of the Vigilance Commissioner is of four years or till the incumbent attains the age of 65 years.
A new Vigilance Commissioner makes and subscribes oath before the Central Vigilance Commissioner, who is authorised by the President under Section 5 (3).
The Commission observes Vigilance Awareness Week every year during the week in which the birthday of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel falls.
Its outreach includes the Integrity Pledge, Integrity Clubs in schools and colleges and Awareness Gram Sabhas in Gram Panchayats.
