Corruption in India

Corruption in India


Corruption experienced by the �Common Man� in getting services from the government departments.
 


MOST CORRUPT SERVICE

Among 11 public services, the Police are the most corrupt. An overwhelming 80 per cent of those who had interacted with the department have paid a bribe.


CAPTIVATING NUMBERS

Common citizens of the country pay a bribe of Rs 21,068 crore while availing one or more of 11 public services, which include land administration, municipal services, etc. As high as 62 per cent of citizens have had firsthand experience of paying a bribe or �using a contact� to get a job done in a public office.


CORRUPTION IN STATES

Going by composite ranking of states on corruption involving the common citizen and in the context of 11 public services, Kerala stands out as the least corrupt state in India. Bihar, on the other hand, is the most corrupt state. Maharashtra is the fifth least corrupt state.

FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRUPTION

Lack of transparency and accountability, lack of effective corruption reporting mechanisms, lack of honesty in officials in the government, acceptance of �bribe� as a way of life, etc. are some reasons for corruption.

Whether trained killers, fellow spies or just hanging around in casinos, the Bond girl is as important to any Bond film as a cigarette lighter that turns into a speedboat. From Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) rising from the sea in her sexy bikini in Dr No through to secret agent Jinx (Halle Berry) doing the very same in Die Another Day, we take a look at Bond's most memorable ladies.
