25 September 2026

Home and Vigilance Minister Ramesh Chennithala launched 'VACB Suite 3.0', an integrated digital platform developed in-house by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, at the auditorium of the Police Training College, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram.
The platform allows the progress of investigation in cases and related information to be checked in real time, avoids delay in files, gives investigating officers quick access to precise guidelines and ensures data security.
The Minister said the vigilance manual had been comprehensively revised after thirty years and that the reforms in the department are based on it, and that a system which would have cost more than about one crore rupees was developed by the Bureau's own technically qualified officers.
Under 'Project Zero', 38 cases were registered in the last 114 days and investigation was started against 115 officers, while 12 persons who took bribes were caught in trap operations.
The 'Operation Parppidam' inspection found financial irregularities of 45 lakh rupees and the ration godown inspection irregularities of 18 lakh rupees.
The Minister also released the VACB Suite 3.0 user manual, gave the Badge of Honour to vigilance officers and distributed the newly designed uniform jacket. State Police Chief Ravada A. Chandrasekhar presided and Vigilance Director Manoj Abraham welcomed the gathering.
