WHY CORRUPTION ?????

Why CORRUPTION ???

People fall into the trap of corruption because they
-commit mistakes
-make lapses
-fail to meet the required deadlines

All this due to lack of proper communications of systems and procedures which in themselves are not customer friendly.
The timelines/locations are not up-to customer’s convenience - 24hours online services are an answer to this kind of problems.
The people should be bold and courageous enough to come forward and face the penalties - not to go in for short cuts/escape route. In-fact such escape routes should be made difficult (by good policing/monitoring/plugging the gaps) & unviable (high risk and low margins).

Community Culture to be developed in way that it encourages FIGHTERS than the FIXERS. The growing and the expanding Companies who hires FIXERS to cut through the RED TAPE ETC should HIRE FIGHTERS who anticipate these bottle necks and then plan /strategies’ within the legal rights. The companies should anticipate and build in the cost/time due to the FIGHT OUTS rather than going in for THE PAYOUTS. The real winners should be the achievers who gets the results by fighting out, rather than the achievers who gets the results by paying out instead of fixing-up.

Could be the Psychology of Being Beyond The Rules. If we promote the right and questioning attitude (RTI IS A STEP FORWARD) we may be able to check corruption. If one is wrong in his action from there only the weakness starts and one tends to bend backwards. It is here that the corruption starts. The guy at the other end will milk you if he knows that you are vulnerable.

A momentum needs to be built “involving the Hearts & Minds” of the people, where people take pride in achieving without Paying up.

Next step is to MAKE THE LAW WORK. The systems and procedures should be redesigned in a way so as to make the role of any kind of middleman unattractive/un-remunerative. This is possible by bringing about effective e-governance, more n more online facilities. Proper Communication/awareness of the system, procedures, rules regulations will also help in avoiding the middlemen. Further the Rates and Taxes should be practical and convenient to apply so that the public is not discouraged but encouraged to PAY-UP.
