The Warrior within the Government

Kudos to Mr. Vinod Rai Comptroller & Auditor General of India, for his frank opinion made public on World Economic Forum 2012 meeting here in India.

Mr. Vinod Rai said, "India should provide for more autonomous functioning of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).

It may be noted that Mr. Vinod Rai enjoys complete autonomy for a fixed six year term. He was appointed as Comptroller & Auditor General of India on 7th January 2008.

Mr. Vinod Rai was born on 23rd May 1948, has a Masters Degree in Economics from Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, and Masters Degree in Public Administration from Harvard University, USA. He is a 1972 batch Kerala Cadre Officer of Indian Administrative Services (IAS).

He is a keen player of Tennis.

As Comptroller and Auditor General of India, Vinod Rai has come out with audit reports which have nailed government departments like, the one on the 2G spectrum scam, which led to the telecom minister losing his job and the most recent one being the audit report on Coalgate.

India needs more people like Mr. Vinod Rai, who can take up the government authorities and catch them of their acts which cause a great loss to public exchequer. 

Our salutations to the great Warrior.
