New Delhi: In a significant development, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) announced two key vigilance appointments in major public sector organizations under the Ministry of Coal and the Ministry of MSME.

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the appointments of Amaresh Kumar (IRTS:2011) and Prashant Singh (IOFS:2008) as Chief Vigilance Officers (CVOs) of the Coal Mines Provident Fund Organization (CMPFO) and the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) respectively.

Amaresh Kumar Appointed CVO of CMPFO, Dhanbad

Amaresh Kumar, an officer of the Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS), 2011 batch, has been appointed as the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of the Coal Mines Provident Fund Organization (CMPFO), headquartered in Dhanbad, Jharkhand.

The ACC has approved his posting for an initial tenure of three years from the date of assumption of charge, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

The CMPFO, which comes under the Ministry of Coal, handles retirement and provident fund services for coal industry workers across India. The appointment of a CVO is seen as a step toward strengthening the organization’s vigilance and transparency mechanisms.

Prashant Singh Named CVO of KVIC, Mumbai

In a parallel appointment, Prashant Singh, an officer of the Indian Ordnance Factories Service (IOFS), 2008 batch, has been named the new Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), based in Mumbai.

The KVIC is an important statutory body under the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), responsible for promoting khadi and village industries across India. Singh’s appointment is also for an initial period of three years, starting from the date he assumes charge.

Singh’s role will be critical in ensuring integrity, accountability, and anti-corruption measures in the working of the KVIC, especially at a time when the MSME sector is pivotal to India’s economic growth and employment generation.

Strengthening Vigilance in Key Institutions

These appointments reflect the government’s ongoing efforts to institutionalize vigilance oversight in public bodies and ensure greater accountability, efficiency, and transparency.

Chief Vigilance Officers (CVOs) play a vital role in acting as the extended arm of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) in ensuring corruption-free governance within their organizations.
