The Kerala government launched Project Zero on May 26, 2026, as a comprehensive anti-corruption initiative aimed at ensuring zero tolerance towards bribery and promoting transparent public service delivery. The initiative is implemented by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) through a structured and phased approach. Its key objectives include ensuring corruption-free access to government services, protecting whistleblowers with confidentiality, and strengthening internal vigilance systems through training and monitoring. The program also integrates advanced technology to detect modern digital forms of corruption and updates the long-standing Vigilance Manual of 1969 to align with current investigative needs. The initiative reflects Kerala’s broader commitment to administrative transparency and ethical governance.
