Explanation

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) is the apex vigilance institution in India, established to address governmental corruption. According to the Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003, the CVC's powers include exercising superintendence over the vigilance administration of various ministries of the Central Government, as well as corporations, government companies, and local authorities owned or controlled by the Centre.

  • Option A: The CVC does not oversee the functioning of the President. While the Lokpal has jurisdiction over the Prime Minister under specific conditions, the CVC's primary mandate is administrative vigilance.
  • Option C and D: These areas (migration and foreign affairs) fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs, respectively, and are outside the scope of vigilance administration.
