Corruption in India

Dear Editor,
Corruption in India is a major issue that adversely affects its economy. A study conducted by Transparency International in the year 2005 found more than 62 per cent of Indians had first
hand experience of paying bribes or influence peddling to get jobs done in public offices successfully. In its study conducted
in year 2008, Transparency International reports about 40 percent of Indians had firsthand experience of paying bribes orusing a contact to get a job done in public office.
Most of the  largest sources of corruption in India are entitlement programmes and social spending schemes  enacted by the Indian Government. Examples include Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Health Mission. Other daily sources of corruption include India’s  trucking industry which is forced to pay billions in bribes annually to numerous regulatory and police stops on its interstate highways.
