Corruption in India: Times of India
- Saarthak Katyal

People in the public and private sectors employ corrupt methods and unfair methods to
complete a variety of large and minor tasks. This is because people desire to make a lot of
money without putting in a lot of effort. Despite the fact that India’s ranking in the Global
Corruption Index 2018 has improved by three places, it still ranks 78th among other
countries. India is still a long way from being a corruption-free country.

Even throughout the British Empire’s reign, India was rife with corruption. It stifles a country’s
social, economic, and political growth and progress on all fronts. As per research conducted by
Transparency International in 2005, more than 62 percent of Indians have paid a bribe to a
public official at some time in their lives. Rather than engaging in corrupt practises, they should
seek to alleviate the problem of corruption.

They must set an example for citizens, inspiring them to work honestly and diligently to
achieve their objectives rather than using dishonest methods. In India, anyone can enter politics
and form a political party. The educational qualifications of a person are not a part of the
eligibility criteria. Ministers have been appointed who have never attended school and have
little knowledge of the Indian political system.

There are various explanations for our country’s high level of corruption. While many young
people today are unemployed or working in positions that are far below their
qualifications, others take jobs that are far below their qualifications. Dissatisfaction among
these individuals, as well as their desire to gain more money, has led them to use dishonest
methods. People in our country get away with corrupt practises such as paying and receiving
bribes, not paying income taxes, running enterprises by unscrupulous means, and so on.

This is one of the reasons why the country’s corruption rate is so high. Corruption is less
frequent in a society where people are educated. When people are uneducated, they count on
unequal and unscrupulous methods to make a living. The vast majority of people still do not
recognise the value of education, which contributes to an increase in corruption.

Growing corruption is also a result of unbridled greed and increased market


competitiveness. They desire to make more money than their relatives and friends, and in their
haste, they are willing to use corrupt tactics to achieve their goals. Everyone wants the country
to be free of corruption and condemns the government for not doing enough to combat
it, without blaming oneself for contributing to the problem. Corruption has well-established
causes.

To keep the country’s population under control, the government must adopt severe
measures. Similarly, it must work on all fronts to create a corruption-free India. We can defeat
corruption if we stand unified and committed to rid the world of this evil. Another factor
contributing to the rise of corruption is a lack of knowledge.

To a considerable extent, spreading education can assist to alleviate this problem. People who
engage in corrupt practises such as receiving and offering bribes, using unlawful means to build
their enterprises, acquiring black money, and other advantages that they do not have legal
access to must face harsh penalties. Such sting operations will not only expose corrupt
individuals, but will also deter others from engaging in such behaviour. Each of us must accept
it as a personal obligation to follow the proper procedure for getting things done rather than
paying bribes to get things done or avoid fines.

Technology can also support in the reduction of corruption. CCTV cameras must be put at
government buildings, at red lights, and other locations where bribes are frequently taken and
given. People in India are afraid of coming to the police station, even to file a complaint against
corrupt officials. To address this issue, the central government must enact severe legislation.

Individuals, the media, and the government all need to work together to help achieve a
corruption-free India. To make the country a better place to live, they must collaborate
