Corruption erodes the basic faith in democracy, law and order of a country. It leads to violations of human rights. It has adverse effects on the delivery of basic social services. It has a particularly harmful impact on the poor.Youth should be taught to yearn for success through hard work and perseverance. They should be made self-reliant rather than letting them dream about gaining success through short-cuts which would provide them ample opportunities to make black money.Youth must be involved in both the formulation and implementation of policy against corruption. Clubs and different fraternities should be formed for such purposes.Youth could be role models to the young and try try to change the thinking of the older generation. Youth should be energetic and creative to mobilize and sensitize the general public.

The extensive role of the Indian state in providing services and promoting economic development has always created the opportunity for using public resources for private benefit.

As government regulation of business was extended in the 1960s and corporate donations were banned in 1969, trading economic favours for under-the-table contributions to political parties became an increasingly widespread political practice. During the 1980s and 1990s, corruption became associated with the occupants of the highest echelons of India’s political system.

Rajiv Gandhi’s government was rocked by scandals, as was the government of P.V. Narasimha Rao. Politicians have become so closely identified with corruption in the public eye that a Times of India poll of 1,554 adults in six metropolitan cities found that 98 percent of the public is convinced that politicians and ministers are corrupt, with 85 percent observing that corruption is on the increase.

The prominence of political corruption in India in the 1990s is hardly unique to India. Other countries also have experienced corruption that has rocked their political systems. What is remarkable about India is the persistent anti-incumbent sentiment among its electorate. Since Indira’s victory in her 1971 “garibi hatao” election, only one ruling party has been re-elected to power in the Central Government.

Corruption is not a volluntary decision for most of the Indians. All the officers come with an aim of helping India. But later during their service, they encounter situations where they have to compromise. It might be demand for money in personal life, blackmail or anything of this sort. The main cause of this corruption is population and structure of the government. There's nothing to explain about the huge population of India that needs more people to handle the country. But what we can tell about the aim of the government is that it runs on the main purpose that no innocent person must be affected by misunderstanding or any other situation of this sort. To abid by this aim, the Indian officers don't have high induvidual powers. Most of the powers of the officers are based on group decisions.It might be the president or a police constable, all of their important decisions can only be taken after discussing with other officers. Because of this, even if there is only 1 corrupt officer in the whole group, the others will not be able to take decisions that help the people.
