the slower the economic growth”

(rule of thumb confirmed by many studies)

ANTI-CORRUPTION EFFORTS

Right to Information Act: The 2005 Right to Information Act required government officials to

provide information requested by citizens or face punitive action, as well as the

computerization of services and the establishment of vigilance commissions. This considerably

reduced corruption and opened up avenues to redress grievances.

Right to public services legislation: Right to Public Services legislation, which has been enacted

in 19 states of India, guarantee time bound delivery of services for various public services

rendered by the Government to citizen and provides mechanism for punishing the errant

public servant who is deficient in providing the service stipulated under the statute.

The Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 which came into force from 16 January 2014, seeks to

provide for the establishment of the institution of Lokpal to inquire into allegations of corruption

against certain public functionaries in India.

CIVIC ANTI-CORRUPTION ORGANIZATIONS:

Bharat Swabhiman Trust, established by Ramdev, has campaigned against black money and

corruption for a decade.

5th Pillar is most known for the creation of the zero rupee note, a valueless note designed to be

given to corrupt officials when they request bribes.

India Against Corruption was a popular movement active during 2011-12 that received much

media attention. Among its prominent public faces were Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Anna

Hazare. Kejriwal went on to form the Aam Aadmi Party and Hazare established Jan Tantra

Morcha.

Association for Social Transparency, Rights and Action (ASTRA) is an NGO focused on grass-

roots work to fight corruption in Karnataka.

The Lok Satta Movement, has transformed itself from a civil organisation to a full-fledged

political party, the Lok Satta Party. The party has fielded candidates in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil

Nadu, and Bangalore.

Through Anti-Corruption

movements, Anna Hazare

made possible the Jan Lokpal

Bill, which will make better laws

against corruption, in 2011.

“The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.”

- Kurt Cobain

THE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

If you have to choose between what's morally right and providing

money/resources for yourself/your family. What would you do?

In times of turbulence would you care more about the others than you

would care for yourself?

Maybe some people would. But the truth is that in any country on this

planet not 100% of the people will do that. Corruption can be

decreased, yes, to a much greater extent but to eradicate it completely

is to change every person’s mind. For that we have to strive for fighting

against fighting corruption and not supporting it any cost.

WHAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO

Strong and stringent laws need to be enacted which gives no room for the guilty to escape.

Establishment of special courts for speedy justice can be a huge positive aspect. Much time

should not elapse between the registration of a case and the delivery of judgment.

In many cases, the employees opt for corrupt means out of compulsion and not by choice.

Some people are of the opinion that the wages paid are insufficient to feed their families. If

they are paid better, they would not be forced to accept bribe.

The one thing that needs to be ensured is proper, impartial, and unbiased use of various anti-

social regulations to take strong, deterrent, and timely legal action against the offenders,

irrespective of their political influences or money power.

In many ways, having a more simple and straightforward bureaucracy – which is incredibly

easier today with digital technology – is one of the most effective ways to fight corruption in

India.

WHAT WE SHOULD: DOS AND DON'TS

Being neutral or supporting corruption on individual or organizational level

•Involving in bribery, corruption acts and not reporting them

•Not supporting or strengthening over the people who are fighting against corruption

Not accepting unfair decisions and standing against them

•Choosing a better government

•Training for Anti-Corruption acts

•Properly following all the laws and making sure nobody else, even officials stop you from doing that

WHAT WE WANT TO DO

To setup a non-biased non-conclusive body across every

particular city possible where about anyone can report a

corruption event and through this body and certain activists,

justice will be provided to the concerned party.

In Simple: A simple organization for ending Corruption.

How many of you here think this is a right move and are willing

to support this?

LET’S CREATE ONE FOR OUR WHOLE COUNTRY!

LET US WORK TOGETHER FOR…

A CORRUPTION FREE INDIA!

OUR OATH

We are the India’s

new Generation.

Wherever

we are

working,

We work together

to build an…India free

“Corruption is the enemy of development, and of good governance. It must be got rid of. Both the government and the people at large must come together to achieve this national objective.”
