Is it possible to make india corruption free

Earlier, bribes were paid for getting the wrong things done, but now they are paid for getting the right thing done at the right time. They come in the vicinity of the microscopic lens, and thus, their actions get magnified, and the corruption finds expression.

The cancer of corruption has spread its tentacles everywhere, from education to health sector to food and marketing. Analysing the reasons for corruption was a preliminary step, but the main step is working towards its elimination, and taking some major steps against it.

These include:. We, the youth of this nation, have to shoulder the responsibility to eradicate corruption completely by joining politics and giving it the right direction. Every voice holds weight. Evil cannot destroy the system, but watching evil silently can definitely destroy it.

While announcing his decision on Facebook, he said he wants to contribute to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream of a "new and corruption-free India". The shocker came just a few weeks ahead of the A Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare today accused Narendra Modi of failing to keep his promise of creating a corruption-free India, and said the Prime Minister "did nothing" to enforce the Lokpal Bill. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the nation on the occasion of 71st Independence Day today.

At a round-table of 21 CEOs, he spoke of India's business-friendly face, highlighting reforms like the Goods and Services Tax or GST that would untangle a complex jumble of central and state taxes. Later, interact Besides a corruption-free and efficient model of working at government offices in the state, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath wants all employees to report to work on time. Subsequently, for nearly a year the govt did not make the requisite rules, prompting one of the Lokpal members to tender his resignation.

The anti-corruption ombudsman is clearly a non-starter, with a deafening silence from the institution on all recent allegations of big-ticket corruption like the Rafael defence deal and banking scams that have rocked the country. This concern is not misplaced. Brutal attacks on whistleblowers and RTI users in the country have highlighted the vulnerability of those who dare to show the truth to power. In alone, 18 people were killed for blowing the whistle on corruption on the basis of information accessed under the RTI Act.

Despite this, the government has failed to frame rules and operationalise the Whistle Blowers Protection law enacted in to provide a statutory framework for concealing the identity of whistleblowers and protecting them against victimisation.

The law establishes a mechanism to receive and enquire into complaints against public servants relating to offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act. When the BJP came to power riding on the plank of fighting corruption and ensuring effective service delivery , it was expected that the government will immediately put in place a strong anti-corruption and grievance redress framework.

In the last six and a half years, however, critical anti-corruption legislations have languished and the government, despite widespread opposition, has pushed ill-conceived programmes like demonetisation and electoral bonds as the definitive solutions to the problem of corruption.

Limitations of relying on technical fixes like Adhaar-based biometric authentication in fighting corruption have been exposed through scams like the Jharkhand scholarship fraud. The Transparency International report should serve as a strong signal for the government to course correct, provided it has the political will.
