Corruption in India:-

This curse to our country is not only hindering the progress of country, even it is making our country hollow from inside with most of us almost in clutches of this animal which I believe.

Removing it completely is no more than dreaming in day but yeah we can do our part , so let's do it friends ... I need your support to curb this social evil.

We without thinking what consequence will it make not only to us but to society also we take many decisions.

These decisions will effect not our life personally but yeah it can hinder the progress of society.

TODAY MOST OF US WILLINGLY OR UNWILLINGLY ARE PART OF THIS CORRUPTED SOCIETY.

WE EITHER WANT IT TO BE LESS OR GET MORE AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO GET INVOLVED IN IT.

SAY NO ..... LET'S CHANGE THE COMMON MAN PERCEPTION ABOUT IT WHO SUFFERS MOST

What I mean to say is common person is most suffered . We(aam aadmi) believe that there should be less corruption when we are on the giving end but yeah when we are on receiving end we want more and more opportunities to avail this curse .

And yeah it is everywhere ....every department ....every office ...every place...

from education side

we see that it has become a business

top class (upper class) set of the country believe that yeah everything can be purchased with money. This surely has caused people involved in this department have this idea of lucrative money which indeed is a trend in most of the private colleges openly and in govt. colleges under the desk.

And yeah we know our land is capable of producing Einstein and Newton but probably failed to do so because we are unable to provide education to most of them many due to financial woes.

but certainly Indians seems to have developed a new energy equation :-

Yes we are unable to produce good students where on earth are we dreaming of developing India.

It is not only department in India but yeah corruption in it surely hampers development to the greatest extent here are some few examples which became famous for enlightening this well known truth publically .

Case Study: Muder of S.K.Dubey, Dy.G.M.,

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)

Location : Koderma in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand

Project : National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) Highways Project

Year : November, 2003

•S.K.Dubey 30 year old engineer posted at Koderma to supervise the construction of the

180-km highway under the NHAI’s “Golden Quadrilateral” project.

•Detects a number of mal practices in the highways construction project and tries to

approach his senior organizational officials, does not get the desired response.

•On 11, November, 2002 Dubey, writes to the Prime Minister of India highlighting several

instances of ‘‘loot of public money’’ and ‘‘poor implementation.’’ He requests anonymity

but fearing his complaint may not be disregarded lightly he gives his full identity in his

complaint.

•But tragically the confidentiality of Dubey’s letter and the identity of the ‘whistle blower’

were both violated as Dubey’s letter was passed down from file to file through the

bureaucratic maze.

•In the early hours of 27 November 2003, S.K. Dubey is shot and killed by unidentified

assailants.

Dubey’s key complaints included:

• Tenders are called for on the basis of Detail Project Reports (DPR) by design

consultants which are are badly prepared and are unreliable.

• Process of procurement ‘‘completely manipulated and hijacked’’ by the big

contractors ; forged documents are submitted to justify technical and financial

capabilities.

• NHAI officials are in league with big contractors and internal NHAI decisions

are leaked.

• Nearly 10% of contract value is paid as ‘Mobilisation Advance’ to selected

contractors within a few weeks of award of work, for which the NHAI officials

receive illegal gratification or “commissions”. No follow-up to ensure the actual

utilisation of such advances.

• Practice of subletting of contracts or sub-contracting to small petty unqualified

contractors fails to ensure the requisite quality of construction.

`

•Satyendra Dubey’s death and the public outrage, it generated, has led to many

fundamental changes in the whole approach to corruption reporting and administrative

responsiveness.

•The National Media highlighted the brave young engineer’s fight against corruption in

the face of an unresponsive and insensitive bureaucratic administration.

•The Government has framed the draft Whistleblowers Act, formally called The Public Interest Disclosure (Protection of Informers) Bill

Ø Final approval from the Parliament of India is pending,

Ø Supreme Court of India has issued directions to Government to start the process.

Ø Central Vigilance Commission designated as the competent agency

Ø Complaints or disclosure on any allegation of corruption or of mis-use of office by any employee of the Government can be received.

Ø Central government, Central corporations, Government companies, societies or local authorities and Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) are covered.

While the war against corruption has to be fought globally ,the battles are to be fought locally.

Individual citizens, the small groups in remote villages, the NGOs and other concerned citizen’s groups, large and small corporates, individual public and private organizations, local governments, national governments, international bodies all have to fight against this malaise in their respective spheres of activity.

Specific Action Plans to fight corruption locally and globally

The broad principles of the fight against corruption are well recognized but their impact is diluted in the translation into action at the local level. Specific plans of action to combat corruption to be worked out for local action, keeping in mind the existent circumstances and conditions

Apart from these the following measures are necessary to fight a successful war against corruption in India

•Creation of an Ombudsman at the National and State levels

•Strengthening Local governments

•Strengthening the independent and decentralized nature of vigilance departments

•Fast track judicial courts
