The term corruption is defined because of the abuse of entrusted power for personal or private gain. India continues to be among the foremost corrupt countries on the planet. In 2011, India ranked 95th of 183 corrupt countries in the transparency international corruption perception index. Corruption has become so widespread that it's weakened into several categories, supporting the planet during which it occurs, and thus the amounts of money lost, or other damages it causes. Corruption has many results on society, costing people their hard-earned money, their freedom, their health, and sometimes even their lives. Government corruption includes a selection of activities, just like the offering or accepting of bribes, extortion, and thus the offering of jobs or other benefits to friends or relations. Corruption increases in India day by day because there is a robust connection between the officials, politicians, and criminals who are making this country weak then weak. India got Independence in 1947, and it had been slowly becoming strong and developing. Major Factors responsible for Corruption like as. Low Job opportunities, encouragement of unhealthy competition, lack of accountability, lack of Unity publicly, Lack of Strict and fast punishments. Corruption in India could also be a result of the connection between bureaucrats, politicians, and criminals. Political Corruption is the worst in India. Recently, the govt. increased the salary of the M.P.'s from Rs.16, 000 to Rs.50, 000, that's 300% increase to the prevailing salary. But many of them are unhappy with rising and wish the govt. to increase the salary to how more extent. This clearly shows how the politicians are in continual thirst for monetary benefits and not concerned about the welfare of the people. Thus, we'll say that Corruption and greediness are the two sides of the same coin. If India possesses to fight poverty and achieve a sustainable rate of growth, it should take proper anti-corruption measures and enforce them strictly. We, the youth of the country should also need to remember all the reasons for Corruption and acquire together to unravel it in the group. The increasing level of Corruption must take some heavy steps to urge control over it. The political leaders must be selected to support their educational qualification and there must be laws to dismiss them immediately just in case they're found guilty of any corrupt practice.
