There is no way that the investor community could forget the unfortunate Rs. 4000 crore Harshad Mehta scam and over Rs. 1000 crore Ketan Parekh scam which eroded the shareholders wealth in form of big market jolt.
Anti Corruption Efforts :-
1. Privatization and Commercialization of Corruption Overhaul System:- It is proposed solution to remove organized corruption by privatizing corruption overhaul system and providing financial motivation to the private companies working in sector of corruption finding and probing business. The solution is provided by group of Indians named themselves as “Indian Patriots” and they are providing their solutions at their website page http://bharatswabhimanbachao.com/Our_Solution_of_Corruption.htm
2. Right to Information Act
3. Creation of Anticorruption Police and Courts
4. Civil Sector Initatives:- Several organizations are promoting Zero Rupee Note to fight against corruption by shaming the officials who ask for bribe. Another platforms to fight against corruption are http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.com , http://www.ipaidabribe.com and www.ekakizunj.com
5. Lokayukta:- Lokayukta is also an anticorruptional Ombudsman organization in the Indian states.
An ombudsman is a person who acts as a trusted intermediary between an organization and some internal or external constituency while representing not only but mostly the broad scope of constituent interests.
6. Jan Lokpal Bill:- In India, the Jan Lokpal Bill is a draft anti-corruption bill that would create a Jan Lokpal, an independent body like the Election Commission, which would have the power to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without government permission.
Indian Black Money:- India is on the top in the list of Black Money in the entire world with almost US$1456 billion in Swiss Banks in the form of Black Money. According to the data provided by Swiss Banking Association Report(2006) “Indian Black Money >= Black Money of Entire World”. Indian Swiss Bank account assets are worth 13th times the country’s national debt.
Now the matter is that, a normal person needs three basic things Roti, Kapda or Makan, but he is not getting all this due to corruption.
When whole the regulatory body of India from Peons to the District Collectors are well educated, then how can we elect the illetrate leaders for Parliament to rule the country?
This is the time to wake up and fight against corruption. Don’t select your leaders on the basis of casteism, region, language. Select them by their ability. It’s time to “Cut the Roots of Corruption”.
