The document discusses India Against Corruption (IAC), a citizens' movement aimed at demanding strong anti-corruption laws and ensuring passage of the Jan Lokpal bill. IAC is a voluntary organization with a code of conduct for participants. The Jan Lokpal bill proposes an independent body to effectively deter corruption, address citizen grievances, and protect whistleblowers. In 2011, activist Anna Hazare led a movement to demand passage of the bill. The document also outlines some measures to control corruption like the Right to Information Act, Central Vigilance Commission, and establishing special courts for speedy justice.

5. JAN LOKPAL BILL
 It is also referred to as citizen’s
ombudsman bill.
 It is a proposed independent anti-
corruption law in India.
 The bill aims to effectively deter
corruption, redress grievances of citizens
and protect whistleblowers.
 In April 2011, civil activist Anna Hazare
started a satyagraha movement to demand
the passing of the bill.

7. MEASURES TO CONTROL
CORRUPTION
 The Right To Information Act (RTI) gives
one all the required information about the
government. The Public Information
Officer (PIO) is responsible for collecting
all the information which citizens want
and providing them with the same. If the
PIO denies to give the information then he
will be penalized and fined upto Rs.25000

8.  Another potent check on corruption is
Central Vigilence Commision (CVC). Any
cases of corruption or complaints can be
reported to CVC. CVC also creates more
awareness among people regarding the
consequences of giving and taking of
bribes and corruption.
 Special courts for speedy justice can be
established. Much time should not elapse
between registration of a case and
delivery of the judgement.

9.  Strong and stringent laws need to be
enacted which gives no room for the
guilty to escape.
 In many cases, the employees opt for
corrupt means out of compulsion and not
by choice. Some people are of the opinion
that the wages paid are insufficient to feed
their families. If they are paid better, they
would not be forced to accept bribe.
