1. HOW TO CONTROL
CORRUPTION

2. Corruption today can be called a malaise
attached to the largest democracy of the world
i.e. India. From getting your birth certificate to
your driving license to getting a loan passed to
build your home, nothing goes without giving a
bribe
The citizens have become so accustomed to it
that the dividing lines between the corrupt
and non-corrupt are merging.

3. CORRUPTION
By definition, corruption can be called a problem
of routine deviation from the established norms
set by public officials and parties.
Later in 2012, India was ranked 94th out of
176 countries inTransparency International’s
Corruption Perceptions Index, tying with
countries like Colombia, Djibouti, Greece,
Mongolia, etc.

4. Ways To Reduce Corruption:
• The first tool is ‘education’:
• With the help of education we can reduce
corruption. According to a survey
conducted by  India today the least
corrupt state is Kerala, the reason being
that in Kerala literacy rate is highest in
India. So we can see how education effects
education
This suggests that if we are educated, we
can understand our rights well.

5. • We need to change the government
processes:
If the members of the governing body are
government officials, there will certainly be
less reports of the criminal cases. The
reverse may be possible only when there are
no more criminal politician in our
government.
In India there is a provision that no person as a
criminal shall be allowed as a Member of
Parliament or member of legislative.
Unfortunately a fairly large number of them
are a part of it.

6. • We can reduce corruption by increasing direct
contact between government and the governed:-
E-governance could help a lot towards this direction. In a
conference on , Â “Effects of GoodGovernance and Human
Rights” organized by  National Human Right Commission, A. P. J.
Abdul Kalam gave an example of Delhi metro rail system and
online railway reservation as good governance and said that all
the lower courts should follow the explanation of the Supreme
Court and High Court and make the judgments online.
Similarly, Sivraj Patil said that the Right to information should
be used for transparency. We have legal rights to know any
information. According to this act, (Right to Information act
2005), generally people should follow the procedure of law given
to then when their work is not being implemented in a proper
way in public services.This act is a great help in the order to
control corruption.

7. • Lack of effective corruption treatment is
another reason:
That means, instruments which are in use, are
not running properly. For example Prevention of
Corruption Act 1988 came into force on
9th September, 1988. But corruption is still
flourishing. Why? Because of weak actions and
proceedings towards corrupt people. People
don’t have any fear of this act and the court. The
act may thus be revised for its better
implementation.

8. • Lack of transparency and professional
accountability is yet another big reason:
We should be honest to ourselves. Until and
unless we will not be honest, we can’t control
corruption. If each of us is honest towards our
profession, then corruption will automatically
decrease.
We need to pay attention towards professional
accountability i.e., how much we are faithful
and truthful towards our profession.
Corruption may be controlled by handling five
major professions: Â lekhpal , medical,
revenue, police and judicial.

9. Few Examples for corruptions
in India
1) Indian CoalAllocation Scam – 2012 – Size 1.86L Crore
While many think that 2G scam remains the biggest one in size in
India. But this coal allocation scam dwarfs it by the amount involved.
This scam is in regards to Indian Government’s allocation of nation’s
coal deposit to PSU’s and private companies. The scam happened
under Manmohan Singh government and came out in 2012.
The basic premise of this scam was that wrongful allocation of Coal
deposits by Government without resorting to competitive bidding,
which would have made huge amounts to the Government (to tune of
1.86 Lakh crore). However, the coal deposits were allocated
arbitrarily.

10. 2) 2G Spectrum Scam – 2008 – 1.76 L
Crore
We have had a number of scams in India; but none bigger than the
scam involving the process of allocating unified access service
licenses.At the heart of this Rs.1.76-lakh crore worth of scam is the
formerTelecom ministerA Raja – who according to the CAG, has
evaded norms at every level as he carried out the dubious 2G
license awards in 2008 at a throw-away price which were pegged at
2001 prices.
In some respects, this remains the biggest scam in India if you
consider the inflation.The 2G spectrum allocation happened 5 years
earlier than Coal Scam which came out in 2012.
The cases are still going on against many people includingA. Raja,
M. K. Kanimozhi and many telecommunication companies as well.

11. Bofors Scam – 1980s & 90s – 100 to 200 Crore:
The Bofors scandal is known as the hallmark of Indian
corruption.The Bofors scam was a major corruption scandal
in India in the 1980s ; when the then PM Rajiv Gandhi and
several others including a powerful NRI family named the
Hindujas , were accused of receiving kickbacks from Bofors
AB for winning a bid to supply India’s 155 mm field howitzer .
The Swedish State Radio had broadcast a startling report
about an undercover operation carried out by Bofors ,
Sweden’s biggest arms manufacturer, whereby $16 million
were allegedly paid to members of PM Rajiv Gandhi’s
Congress.
Most of all , the Bofors scam had a strong emotional appeal
because it was a scam related to the defense services and
India’s security interests

14. conclusion
Accordingly, we conclude that there was corruption
of the system of government in
the sense that it failed to withstand pressure
determinedly applied to it by
experienced developers, it failed to protect the
planning system from excessive
internal pressure, both political and professional,
and it failed to detect officers who
Equally clearly we find that there was no evidence
of corruption in the ordinary sense of corrupt
payments, gifts or other considerations and
therefore the suspicions and
consequential smears in this regard can be
dispelled.
