 Defined: Pursuit of Personal Interests above

Public Responsibility

 Goal: Control not Elimination of Corruption

 The Question: Is Corruption Circumstantial and

Cultural?
The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) is an index published annually by
Transparency International since 1995 which ranks countries "by their perceived levels
of public sector[1] corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion
surveys."[2] The CPI generally defines corruption as "the misuse of public power for
private benefit".[3]
The CPI currently ranks 176 countries "on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly
corrupt)". Denmark and New Zealand are perceived as the least corrupt countries in
the world, ranking consistently high among international financial transparency, while
the most perceived corrupt country in the world is Somalia, ranking at 9–10 out of 100
since 2017.[4]

best men and women in India's political process; Effective
decentralization of governance through empowerment of
local governments as participative tiers of constitutional.
Effective functioning of legislature. Measures to make

all levels. Institutional checks to prevent abuse of office.
freedom of information for transparent governance;
The Right to Information Act (RTI)

 helped civilians work effectively towards tackling
corruption. It allows Indian citizens to request
information, for a fixed fee of RS.15(US$0.22), from a
"public authority" (a body of Government or
"instrumentality of State"). In turn, this public
authority is required to reply to the request within
thirty days. Activists have used this to uncover
corruption cases against various politicians and
bureaucrats – one consequence being that some of
those activists have been attacked and even killed.

 Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare believes Prime
Minister Narendra Modi’s decision on Tuesday night to
wipe out black money by scrapping the currency notes
of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 was a revolutionary step. And
could lead to the beginning of a “new India marching
towards a corruption-free society”. The 79-year-old
says the next step should be towards electoral reforms
to check black money in the poll process.
CONCLUSION
Coruption, as we know is the criminal thing that do by a person in a
certain capacity especially with negative connotation, they do the illegal
thing to make a benefit for them self. Black money has created a big black
hole in Indian economy & the entire burden is beared by the common
people of India. To stop corruption which creates black money, we the
people of India have to come forward to fight against corruption.

So coruption is an illegal thing that we couldn’t do, because, with out

coruption we can be a good generetion for our country. And then we can
make our country clear from coruption and make our country better.

India is a fast developing country in the world where our systems are
weak. So there is always a chance of corruption. Who is responsible for
this? What action should be taken? What we must keep in mind is “
Nothing is Impossible”. If we join our hands together there can be an end
to this deep rooted evil. The only thing is it takes time. A little progress
everyday leads to a big result one day………..may be tomorrow. Be Good
and Do Good.
