Corruption

I personally believe that CORRUPTION, not particularly to specific sector, is one of the major roadblock to success of India and its transformation to developed country.
I too believe, appreciate and proud that we have very good law prevailing in our country but we need to overcome with corruption. So take a step ahead and try to do your best to remove this corruption.
 
corruption, our education system, our political system, n its we d people....by knowin evethng pretending as if we dono nethng.........
 
The most obvious answer is that India has too many problems to boil down to one. Nonetheless, if I did have to choose, I'd say it's hypocrisy.

It's hypocrisy that makes us rant against politicians without actually bothering to become a part of the political process
It's hypocrisy that makes us curse corruption and yet think nothing of bribing the T.C. or traffic cop when we're at fault.
It's hypocrisy that marks the public's moral outrage against a woman for wearing skimpy clothes in a music video/movie/on the street while hearing about a politician plundering crores with perfect indifference.
It's hypocrisy that makes our parents pretend premarital sex is wrong when they don't have to guts to explain to us the realities and consequences of it.

So rail against all the problems all you want, unless there's some serious effort to be honest about ourselves and how much our own attitudes contribute to the existence and continuation of these problems nothing's likely to change.
 
according to me the biggest factor hampering our success can be our lack oftackig tough decision
actually when 1 wil lstart evaluate all factors it will remain 1 factor only thats tacking tough decision which actuallly can be corrected through replacing old people in parliament with young blood
 
Indeed the problem is of brain drain and competition.. It has made the youth selfish and has made them stuck in the rat race. Youngsters need to come out of the quagmire and make a new beginning
 
i feel we Indians are poor implementors of plans thats why we are lacking. No doubt we are best at planning but wen it comes to implementaion we are no where. As rightly said by Rajiv Gandhi as well that most of the money is gettign lost in between due to corruption and plans are not getting implemented. So i feel corrupt officer leads to poor implementors which is the biggest problem for India.
 
Regarding Population i dun agree its a problem anymore. We have proved that more populations means more engineers,doctors and other experts. Its a major boon by which we can attract most of the businesses to India. China is another example where they have proved themselves as world's factory for manufacturing.
Similiarly India is going ahead to become 'world's Services Provider".
 
obviously the root cause of every problem is corruption........
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

It is not easy to define corruption. But in a narrow sense, corruption is mostly concerned with ‘bribery’ and it takes several forms. Corruption is a global phenomenon and it is omnipresent. Corruption has progressively increased and is now rampant in our society.

National scenario

Corruption in India is a consequence of the nexus between Bureaucracy, politics and criminals. India is now no longer considered a soft state. It has now become a consideration state where everything can be had for a consideration. Today, the number of ministers with an honest image can be counted on fingers. At one time, bribe was paid for getting wrong things done but now bribe is paid for getting right things done at right time.

Effects of corruption

Indian administration is tainted with scandals. India is among 55 of the 106 countries where corruption is rampant, according to the Corruption Perception Index 2004 Report released by Transparency International India. Corruption in India leads to promotion not prison. It is very difficult to catch ‘big sharks’. Corruption in India has wings not wheels. As nation grows, the corrupt also grow to invent new methods of cheating the government and public.

Causes of corruption

The causes of corruption are many and complex. Following are some of the causes of corruption.

· Emergence of political elite who believe in interest-oriented rather than nation-oriented programmes and policies.

· Artificial scarcity created by the people with malevolent intentions wrecks the fabric of the economy.

· Corruption is caused as well as increased because of the change in the value system and ethical qualities of men who administer. The old ideals of morality, service and honesty are regarded as an achronistic.

· Tolerance of people towards corruption, complete lack of intense public outcry against corruption and the absence of strong public forum to oppose corruption allow corruption to reign over people.

· Vast size of population coupled with widespread illiteracy and the poor economic infrastructure lead to endemic corruption in public life.

· In a highly inflationary economy, low salaries of government officials compel them to resort to the road of corruption. Graduates from IIMs with no experience draw a far handsome salary than what government secretaries draw.

· Complex laws and procedures alienate common people to ask for any help from government.

· Election time is a time when corruption is at its peak level. Big industrialist fund politicians to meet high cost of election and ultimately to seek personal favour. Bribery to politicians buys influence, and bribery by politicians buys votes. In order to get elected, politicians bribe poor illiterate people, who are slogging for two times’ meal.


Measures to combat corruption

Is it possible to contain corruption in our society? Corruption is a cancer, which every Indian must strive to cure. Many new leaders when come into power declare their determination to eradicate corruption but soon they themselves become corrupt and start amassing huge wealth.

There are many myths about corruption, which have to be exploded if we really want to combat it. Some of these myths are: Corruption is a way of life and nothing can be done about it. Only people from underdeveloped or developing countries are prone to corruption. We will have to guard against all these crude fallacies while planning measures to fight corruption.

· Foolproof laws should be made so that there is no room for discretion for politicians and bureaucrats. The role of the politician should be minimized. Application of the evolved policies should be left in the hands of independent commission or authority in each area of public interest. Decision of the commission or authority should be challengeable only in the courts.

· Cooperation of the people has to be obtained for successfully containing corruption. People should have a right to recall the elected representatives if they see them becoming indifferent to the electorate.

· Funding of elections is at the core of political corruption. Electoral reforms are crucial in this regard. Several reforms like: State funding of election expenses for candidates; strict enforcement of statutory requirements like holding in-party elections, making political parties get their accounts audited regularly and filing income-tax returns; denying persons with criminal records a chance to contest elections, should be brought in.

· Responsiveness, accountability and transparency are a must for a clean system. Bureaucracy, the backbone of good governance, should be made more citizen friendly, accountable, ethical and transparent.

· More and more courts should be opened for speedy & inexpensive justice so that cases don’t linger in courts for years and justice is delivered on time.

· Local bodies, Independent of the government, like Lokpals, Lokadalats, CVCs and Vigilance Commissions should be formed to provide speedy justice with low expenses.

· A new Fundamental Right viz. Right to Information should be introduced, which will empower the citizens to ask for the information they want. Barring some confidential information, which concerns national and international security, other information should be made available to general public as and when required. Stringent actions against corrupt officials will certainly have a deterrent impact.


Conclusion

Corruption is an intractable problem. It is like diabetes, can only be controlled, but not totally eliminated. It may not be possible to root out corruption completely at all levels but it is possible to contain it within tolerable limits. Honest and dedicated persons in public life, control over electoral expenses could be the most important prescriptions to combat corruption. Corruption has a corrosive impact on our economy. It worsens our image in international market and leads to loss of overseas opportunities. Corruption is a global problem that all countries of the world have to confront, solutions, however, can only be home grown. We have tolerated corruption for so long. The time has now come to root it out from its roots.
