Root Out Corruption

Corruption is the cancer of society as it stunts economic growth, breeds inequality and generates conflicts. The common people are mostly hit by the abuse of power and siphoning off taxpayers’ money. Corruption occurs when there is a transaction of a hefty amount of money. It varies from petty to grand to systemic corruption in which billions of rupees are embezzled by those who control and mobilise the resources. When there is massive irregularities in the construction of projects, they are not complete in time. Their cost grows and quality remains substandard. Corruption reduces the competitive edge of institutions and decreases their capacity to effectively deliver services and goods to the people. So it is next to impossible to achieve good governance, social justice and equality when there is widespread corruption.
