Ways To Curb Corruption From India

"If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher."~A.P.J Abdul Kalam

Corruption is the abuse of the bestowed power or position to acquire a personal benefit. Corruption can be classified as grand, petty and political, depending upon the money lost and the sector where it occurs. 

Grand corruption consists of act committed at high level of Government that distort the policies enabling leaders to benefit at the cost of public cost.

Petty corruption refers to everyday abuse of entrusted power by low and mid level public officials at different places.

Political corruption is a manipulation of policies, institutions and rules of procedure in allocation of resources by policy makers to sustain their power, position and wealth.

Corruption thrives where temptation meets permissiveness , where institutional checks on power are missing, where decision making are opaque and civil society is dis-empowered. It is therefore essential to create a systematic approach to control or prevent people from misusing their powers.

Few facts about India

Corruption index:- Rank countries based on how country's public sector is perceived to be. Higher score less corrupt.
Social progress index:- Rating based on three main dimension. Basic human needs, foundation of well-being and opportunity.
Basic human need:- Measure whether country is able and willing to provide basic human need to its citizen.
Bribe payer index:- Rank the world's wealthiest countries accordingly to the likelihood to their firm to bribe abroad. Maximum score corresponds with view that companies from that country never bribe abroad.

Few more facts 

• $440 Billion worth of black money went out of India during last decade.
• 95% of Indian feel bribes needed to get legitimate work done.
• Bangalore is the most bribed city in India. 
• Government to make payment directly to curb corruption. 

Why it is hard for India to become corruption free 

• Lower GDP and its growth rate which is not fulfilling expectation of society.
• Unregulated power has made corruption a addiction for the dictators.
• Almost all political parties are more or less same.
• Bribe has become a good lubricant to get legitimate work done.
• Corruption works like a organised crime.
• Beneficiaries rather enjoy it.
• Institutional checks on power are also affected.    

Though there is a marginal improvement in corruption index with the help of different institutional polices, but I strongly feel that greater extent of result can be achieved if we succeed in changing ourselves only. Shri A.P.J Abdul Kalam has very well said in this reference.

I opined 

• Not only bribe but, defiance of any set rule to acquire a personal benefit should be defined as corruption.
• Compulsory military services should be there before acquiring any post or job.
