Integrity Club, a pilot initiative by the Corporate Vigilance Department of the Airports Authority of India (AAI), for rekindling human values in schoolchildren, was launched by Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) Pratyush Sinha on April 17 in New Delhi.
This co-curricular activity of Integrity Club would be taken up in all schools across the country that are being run by the AAI, according to AAI chairman V P Agarwal.
Based on the pilot experience, a manual has been prepared by the Vigilance Directorate which was released by the CVC on the occasion. This will help schools incorporate co-curricular activities such as National Cadet Corps and National Service Scheme so that they can become important instruments for developing values among youngsters.u00a0
