INTRODUCTION- - - - - - - - - Mr. T.N.Seshan, former chief election

commissioner of India, opined that every patchof Indian society has become corrupt.

It is a lack of intellectual, moral and financialintegrity of a nation. It is anti-economicdevelopment, anti-national and anti-poor.

Sadly, few people trust their governments orpoliticians. Eight out of 10 say political parties

are corrupt or extremely corrupt, while half thepeople questioned say their government's actionto stop corruption is ineffective.

NATIONAL SCENARIO Corruption in India is a consequence of the

nexus between Bureaucracy, politics andcriminals.

India is now no longer considered a soft state.It has now become a consideration state whereeverything can be had for a consideration.

Today, the number of ministers with an honestimage can be counted on fingers.

At one time, bribe was paid for getting wrongthings done but now bribe is paid for gettingright things done at right time.

EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION- - - - - - - - To address these challenges, governments

need to integrate anti-corruption measures inall spheres, from their responses to the

financial crisis and climate change tocommitments by the international communityto eradicate poverty.

CAUSES OF CORRUPTION The causes of corruption are many and

complex.

Emergence of political elite who believe ininterest-oriented rather than nation-orientedprogrammes and policies.

Artificial scarcity created by the people with

malevolent intentions wrecks the fabric of theeconomy.


10/17

CAUSES OF CORRUPTION - - - - - Corruption is caused as well as increased

because of the change in the value system andethical qualities of men who administer.

Vast size of population coupled withwidespread illiteracy and the poor economicinfrastructure lead to endemic corruption inpublic life.

government officials compel them to resort tothe road of corruption. Graduates from IIMs withno experience draw a far handsome salary thanwhat government secretaries draw.

MEASURES TO COMBAT CORRUPTION Is it possible to contain corruption in our

society?

Corruption is a cancer, which every Indian must

strive to cure.

Corruption is a way of life and nothing can bedone 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.


12/17

MEASURES TO COMBAT CORRUPTION - - - - Foolproof laws should be made so that there

is no room for discretion for politicians andbureaucrats.

The role of the politician should beminimized.

Application of the evolved policies should be

left in the hands of independent commissionor authority in each area of public interest.

Decision of the commission or authorityshould be challengeable only in the courts.


13/17

MEASURES TO COMBAT CORRUPTION - - - - 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 becomingindifferent to the electorate.

Responsiveness, accountability andtransparency are a must for a clean system.

Bureaucracy, the backbone of goodgovernance, should be made more citizenfriendly, accountable, ethical and transparent.


14/17

CONCLUSION: Corruption is an intractable problem. It is like

diabetes, can only be controlled, but not totallyeliminated.

It may not be possible to root out corruptioncompletely at all levels but it is possible tocontain it within tolerable limits.

Honest and dedicated persons in public life,control over electoral expenses could be the

most important prescriptions to combatcorruption. Corruption has a corrosive impact onour economy.


15/17

CONCLUSION: 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.Proper utilization of funds is necessary in the

sectors of health, education and infrastructure.However, the urgent need of the hour of healthis to adopt a zero tolerance attitude towardscorruptions.
