| Description |
India, the world’s largest democracy, can boast of a vibrant political culture, vigilant press and a politically conscious civil society with an impartial judiciary. Yet the most disheartening fact of Indian society is the rising tide of corruption in almost all walks of life including the Indian administrative system. Although the issue of administrative reforms has received continuing attention in India both at the national and the state levels during the last six decades, corruption is eating into the vitals of the administrative system. It is therefore extremely essential to reform the administrative system by properly designing an anti-corruption strategy to control corruption. In order to answer some of the serious questions like what needs to be done to reaffirm the trust of the people in the state organizations like the bureaucracy or why the existing anti-corruption vigilance institutions have failed to control the rising tides of corruption in most public institutions and in the context of globalization what anti-corruption reforms need to be implemented, one needs to first shed light over the indigenous causes that have encouraged the growth of corruption in Indian administration. Thus the article brings to light the different indigenous causes that lead to the growth of corruption in Indian administration. It also analyzes the existing anti-corruption laws like the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and working of the major vigilance institutions like the Central Vigilance Commission and Central Bureau of Investigation to identify the loopholes that are giving rise to corruption. On the basis of such weakness the article suggests a new anticorruption strategy to contain corruption in contemporary Indian administration.
