As part of this, the first lecture on the topic “Ethics and Governance” was held today.

Through this campaign, we all have the opportunity to ensure transparency and accountability in our actions. AIIMS Bhopal is fully committed to these ethical principles, and programs like these further reinforce our dedication.”

The lecture on “Ethics and Governance” was delivered by Rajesh Kumar Gupta, Director of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis. Mr. Gupta elaborated on the vital role of ethics in governance, stating, “Ethical standards are the foundation of any successful and respected institution.

Ethical governance promotes a culture of fairness and responsibility at all levels, inspiring staff to follow the right path, no matter how many challenges they face. By adhering to ethical standards, institutions create an environment of accountability where both decision-makers and staff are responsible for their actions.”

Further lectures and programs will be held as part of the Vigilance Awareness Campaign, aimed at strengthening governance and transparency within the institution. The event was attended by senior faculty members, nursing staff, and other senior officials of AIIMS Bhopal.
