Introduction: 

Out of one hundred, ninety-nine persons are corrupt, however, India is great. This is the proverb that is often quoted while we talk about the progress of India in the world scenario. No doubt, India is considered among the most corrupt countries. Corruption in India is the result of a triangle relationship between the bureaucracy, politics and underworld criminals. To make India among the developed countries, we have to go for a long walk.

 

Corruption in India:

At present India has become the centre of corruption. In every nook and corner starting from business, education, security and research, politics, public life and administration, corruption is prevalent. The matter of fact is that in India there is no fixed rule to bring any corrupt person under trial. Only those who are caught are given the punishment which is not apt to eradicate this big issue.

 

Meaning of Corruption:

Corruption is commonly termed as the illegal way of doing or executing any work under some hegemony or by terrifying the authorities for the desired actions. Indian constitution gives us the right to be free of all types of corruption.

 

Causes of Corruption in India:

Corruption is a global phenomenon and it is all powerful that we cannot eradicate it until we are not united and have some specific goal to eradicate it. It has continuously progressed and widened its wings throughout all walks of life. Corruption always tries to way out to cheat the government by hook and crook, and the innocent public is trampled under the heavy feet of corruption. There is no way out of this situation. Here are some of the ways people use corruption:

1. Nowadays all the political parties have become interested- in orienting programmes and policies, so they try by using false ways to achieve their goals.

2. People sometimes create artificial scarcity of provisions and essential commodities. This makes a worse situation in the fabric of the economy to supply all these in one and the other way.

3. Ethics have been changed so people value only those actions which are good for them without considering the problems of others.

4. Nowadays morality has been lost. People have become more crooked than earlier. Now they think only of their own profit rather than thinking of the welfare of others.

5. There is a total lack of public issues. There is a completion in the entire sphere of life that tolerance has been the issue of forgotten days.

6. The widespread illiteracy and the poor economic condition is equally responsible for the growth of corruption.

 

Ways to Make Corruption-Free India developed nation:

Analyzing the reasons for corruption is the primary step, but the main step is to work toward its elimination. If we really want to get rid of this giant problem in our society and make it free from this curse, we have to take some strong steps to eradicate it. The following points can be considered:

1. We should exercise the power of the Right to Information. We have to be active citizens and learn to ask questions such as where our income taxes are used. Where is most of the budget used? What are the best government schemes for their development? 

2. The Public Information Officer should provide all the answers to said questions and satisfy all the queries asked by the public. 

3. There should be vigilant eyes of the Central Vigilance Commission so that corruption is caught red-handed. 

4. The most and foremost is that government should set up fast-track courts to get a fast judgment on the issue especially related to corruption and injustice.

5. Transparency in every government action should be maintained, and selection procedures should be adopted by maximizing digitalization and cashless transactions.
