Corruption is a significant problem in India that manifests in various forms from petty bribery to large scale political scandals. The document discusses the types of corruption prevalent in India such as petty, grand, police, systematic, and political corruption. It also notes that India ranked poorly in transparency indices and estimates that over a trillion dollars in black money is stored abroad. Several anti-corruption efforts and organizations aim to increase transparency and accountability through acts like the Right to Information Act. Ultimately, the document argues that individual ethics and continued public pressure are needed to fully address corruption in India.

2. What is Corruption?
• The word corruption comes from the Latin
word “corrumpo” which literally means to
decompose, or to disintegrate, to loose value, to
become putrid and useless.
• The Advanced Oxford Dictionary defines
corruption as ‘an act of dishonesty or an illegal
behaviour aimed at using public office for
one’s private gain’.

3. Introduction
• Corruption is a global problem and no country
of the world is totally free of its menacing grip.
• It is the level of its prevalence on the one hand
and the honest, committed readiness of the
people in eradicating it on the other hand, that
differentiates one country from another in the
scale of corruption perception index.

4. • This prevalence of corruption betrays a latent
decay in our ethical values and orientation.
• The effects of this pervasive corruption stare
mockingly at our faces. We see them in the bad
state of our roads, hospitals, school systems,
poor infrastructures, increasing crime wave,
looting of the government treasury etc

• Though minor differences exist as to
what constitutes corrupt practices or
the extent of repugnancy of corrupt
practices among different nations,
there is a universal agreement to the
fact that corruption itself is an anti-
social behaviour that portends danger to
the cohesive fabric that holds a society
together and to the integral growth and
development of any society.

7. Petty Corruption
• Petty corruption usually refers to low-level,
small-scale corrupt practices. This includes
grease money for example, paying customs
officials a small bribe to get goods cleared
quicker. It also includes extortion, for example,
paying police officers to avoid fines or
imprisonment.

8. Grand Corruption
• Grand corruption impacts a country overall by
taking large sums of money away from the
public purse. Grand corruption cases are often
controversial, complex and high profile.
Because of their politically sensitive nature, the
investigation and prosecution of such cases
require considerable resources and careful
planning.

9. Police Corruption
• Police corruption is a specific form of police
misconduct designed to obtain financial
benefits, other personal gain, and/or career
advancement for a police officer or officers in
exchange for not pursuing, or selectively
pursuing, an investigation or arrest.
• One common form of police corruption is
soliciting and/or accepting bribes in exchange
for not reporting organized drug or other illegal
activities.

10. Systematic Corruption
• Systemic corruption or endemic corruption is
corruption which is primarily due to a
weaknesses of an organisation or process.
• It can be contrasted with individual officials or
agents who act corruptly within the system.
• Factors which encourage systemic corruption
include conflicting incentives, discretionary
powers; monopolistic powers; lack of
transparency; low pay etc.

11. Political Corruption
• Political corruption is the abuse
of public power, office, or resources
by elected government officials for
personal gain, e.g. by extortion,
soliciting or offering bribes.
• It can also take the form of office holders
maintaining themselves in office by purchasing
votes by enacting laws which use taxpayer
money.

12. Statistics
• Political, bureaucratic, corporate and
individual corruption in India are major
concerns.
• In 2011 India was ranked 95th out of 178
countries in Transparency
International's Corruption Perceptions Index.
• On March 31, 2010 the Controller and Auditor
General of India said that unutilised committed
external assistance was of the order of
Rs.1,05,339 crores.

• It is estimated that more than trillion dollars are
stashed away in foreign havens, while 80% of
Indians earn less than 2$ per day and every
second child is malnourished.
• It seems as if India is a rich country filled with
poor people
• The recent scams involving unimaginably big
amounts of money, such as the 2G spectrum
scam, coal gate scam are well known.

14. Black Money
• Black money refers to money removed from
the official economy (via corruption, bribery,
tax evasion, etc.) and stored outside of the
country. According to a 2010 The
Hindu article, unofficial estimates indicate that
Indians had over US$1456 billion in black
money stored in Swiss banks.
• While some news reports claimed that data
provided by the Swiss Banking Association
Report (2006) showed India has more black
money than the rest of the world combined.

16. RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT
• The Right to Information Act (2005) and

20. Corruption and the individual
• Man is the origin of every moral action
whether good or bad.
• One can protect himself from corruption by the
formation of good conscience, a conscience
that warns you ahead of time, and condemns or
praises the individual depending on whether his
actions are good or bad.

21. CONCLUSION
• Ethical standards should be insisted upon in every
sector and aspect of the people’s lives and those
making efforts should be singled out and rewarded,
especially those who have the public responsibility
entrusted to them.
• To win the war on corruption, adherence to ethical
standards in decision-making must be the foundation of
the nation’s policies.
• Continued pressure on the government to make and
implement strong and effective laws against corruption.
• But first, we should stop promoting corruption at the
grass root level
