'Surest way to ensure degeneration is to put an institution or individual beyond scrutiny'

Institutional challenges from within and without often stem from the erosion of meaningful dialogue and authentic expression
Vice-President, Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday emphasised on the need for self-audit, saying that self-audit is very important.
"The surest way to bring about degeneration of an individual or an institution, it will keep it or the gentleman or gentle lady from scrutiny. You are beyond scrutiny, your degeneration is assured. And therefore, self-audit, an audit beyond self, is essential."
Addressing as Chief Guest at the 50th Foundation Day Programme of IP&TAFS at ICWA here, he said: "Today's institutional challenges from within and without often stem from the erosion of meaningful dialogue and authentic expression. Both outpouring of expression and meaningful dialogue are priceless jewels of democracy. Expression and communication complement each other. Harmony between the two is the key to success."
