| Summary, etc. | India is the only Nation in the world, which gives utmost respect to Dharma by placing the Wheel of Dharma on its National Flag. But it ends there. The latest Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index 2005 ranks India as the 88th most corrupt country of the 159 Nations surveyed. Human Development Report 2005 published by the United Nations Development Programme places India in 127 th rank in a list of 177 Nations basing on the Human Development Index value.<br/>28% Indians are below National poverty line. 34.7% Indians are below international poverty line (earning less than $1 a day) 47% of our children are underweight (below 5 years of age).<br/>Why'?<br/>Peter Eigen puts it into one sentence, "Corruption is a major cause of poverty as well as a barrier to overcoming it". First and foremost, it requires prevention. An entire chapter (II) of the Convention against Corruption is dedicated to prevention, with measures directed at both the public and private sectors. These include model preventive policies, such as the establishment of anticorruption bodies and enhanced transparency Information is the one and only vaccine against corruption. And Right to the best thing about it is that it has already started working! |
