Yes I do agree with the statement that Privatization will lead to less corruption but at the same time I must say that it will not lead to complete eradication of corruption as some of my friends have already stated the Satyam scandal which is a full proof private sector. Corruption is the reason from each individual, unless people don't understand their basic responsibilities, it can not be rooted out.

Privatization cannot be a panacea for corruption problem. It is not possible to privatize all the government sectors. But of course to an extent certain areas can be allowed for privatization. We need to strike a balance between Private Public relationship to ensure smooth functioning of our economy. The government should keep vigil on the functioning of the private firms and check any misappropriation of funds and money-laundering activities.

Privatization certainly leads to higher living standards by enhancing competition in market, but there can be some untoward fallout as well. The only expedient being the profit motive can lead to consumer exploitation.

I am totally agree with this statement. Most of the corruption is in the public sector where every person is totally independent and has the power to work freely in his own way. But in Private sector even the co-workers take the concern about others. Also if there any kind of illegal work is going on then it is easily caught in short duration. As every person wants to dug others and improve himself/herself. So no any kind of such cases arises.

Some persons are saying that corruption is in the minds. But they have to know that corruption occurs in mind only when they have been given the space to do the same. And it is not provided in the private sector. In Public sector the persons know that there is so much of hard procedure and long term case to get him dismissed. So he doesn't afraid of this. But in Private sector a person has the afraid of losing his job even under a small mistake.

When a person does not adhere to the values, when he do not exercise his true power, authority and responsibility, when he try to avoid his basic duties.. the other thing which is growing in his mind is corruption. It may be in the form of money or it may be in the form of barter. It is simply give and take.

So, we have to forget about our focus only on public sector and its tarnished image with corruption. Corruption can be attracted by any individual, so don’t think from the point of view of public sector only, it may be there in the private sector also.

When we look at the corruption issues in income tax, pwd, rationing etc. and on the other hand like 2G, Satyam Scam; we need to say there is little difference between these two as per as the existence of corruption is concern.

What is privatization? When public organization do not able to perform the duties within a given time period and scope then it has to be directed to the second group of national economy, the private sector. And the main or some thinkers and economist will define.. the ultimate objective of private sector is to earn and churn profit. And when we talk about profit, there are number of profit centers in a private organization, sales and marketing, finance and accounts, production, human resource etc. That means, one has to face the issues either in product or pricing. It means the citizen or need to say, the common man of a country will have to suffer in the long term, where on the other hand he is suffering since short term as per as the public sector is concern.

Coming to the conclusion, a country should have a public-private partnership in every sector with transparent policies.

Hi All, I don't agree with this statement because it is not the sector or any business who leads to corruption but it is done by people itself so when there is a corrupt person who doesn't realize his/her values & ethics then it doesn't matter whether it is private or public sector. A corrupt person can take bribes or do work illegally for his/her personal benefit irrespective of sector.

In private sector we can take satyam scam in which no involvement of government officials so corruption is not related to any sector. There are also some cases in which involvement of both private as well as public sector exist such as 2G Scam.

But now a days Corruption is becoming a contagious disease to our system and that system can be a educational system, a political system, a social system, an economical system or a global system. Everyone talks to eradicate that disease of corruption but actually no one wants that's why we are not able to pass Lokpal bill till now in Rajya sabha.

First thing I would like to say that corruption lies in the mind of person. And mind does not see whether he is under the control of govt or any corporate entity. I m saying this because a lively picture of corruption is still encircled my mind i.e. satyam scam and it was not done by any govt officials. So saying that privatization leads to less corruption is wrong partly.

Rather than privatization a air we should come up with such type of machinery and regulation which can keep a knot over corruption. It is a vital problem weakening our moral and economical strength. But to get rid of one problem to intrude into other kind of monopolized system will lead down our country into more fatal problem.

Our democratic structure is very liberal and so many loop holes are in our laws so corrupt entity always try to make benefits from there. I would say we need to go into the deep of the cause of problem and after some we will find its our educational structure, lack of literacy rate, poverty, greenness, materialism and to become a wealthy person by adopting a shortcut way are the fundamental reasons to enhance the corruption. We are not the single country having suffered from this problem, some of country like china, japan are also suffering from this.

Initiatives taken by respectable anna hazare was really seeming to abolished corruption upto to some extent but our corrupt system did not allow him to succeed in his goal and the problem is still at the same corner.

In case of education, privatization will build more gap between the rich and the poor! The private schools are minting money in the form of school fees! I agree they are providing so called "Quality Education" but overall the gap between the rich and poor is getting more wider than ever before! will India really transform into a developed nation by 2020 as dreamt by great leaders and hoped by millions like us?

Hi, friends yes privatization is good for stopping corruption, but if we set it all at once, you know the lazy people in government sector, they will go on strike and other things, this will affect a lot on routine life, because by this their under table money will be affected and they would be forced to work which they don't usually,

In my opinion every detail of government policies should be transparent, for an instance if any small road project is going on, the details should be displayed on public places, like who is quoting what and who is selected and why, what is the time limit, what are the expenses,

What they are paying for what, so if public will also be able to cross check it. And if we find anything wrong we can raise complains against who is responsible for the mistake,

Governments every scheme and policy should be display at public places, so people who don't do their work properly and taking bribes will be scare of doing this,

Also every one should be allowed to give their ideas in making a good envelopment,

Privatisation of power sector, banking, education has all led to improvements in the society. It takes a load of burden from the government for development of infrastructure and helps it to channel funds in the direction of the poor. A PPP is what is essentially required. This is because if any one party is given entire power for a long time, there creates a room for corruption and misuse of power. Hence a regulatory role, played by the government, safeguarding the demands of the country and ensuring that the operational role, done by the private parties, actually reach the population in a transparent manner.

With privatization there will be better inputs of technology, skilled staff and better service compared to the pure government sectors. But all sectors need not be privatised. For eg. Railways. This is a huge source o revenues for the govt and being under the railway ministry ensures faster reforms and actions. Electricity boards can be privatised as a huge investment is needed to achieve 100pc electrification and there is a huge part of rural India which does not receive these basic facilities. Privatization of water can lead to better metering and recording facilities, better billing encouraging citizens to conserve water use in households, better pipelines and better service.

Privatisation leads to less corruption. Yes I agree to this statement. As you all know privatisation is the conversion of public sector into a private sector.

Some of them above said that if the government employees are given all those allowances like free accomodation, education for their children. Etc corruption can be controlled to an exent. It can be controlled to a very little extent. There is no limits for a person to dream. So he only has a desire to get more and live a life more luxurious than others. So even if there is a lot of compensations or allowances. Whatever. There is of not much use. Man is desirous and he wants more and more. There is no extent to his limits.

Then to our topic of privatisation. Compared to a public sector in my opinion a private sector will be having a greater preassure. There will be a greater competetion when compared to a public sector. In a public sector we usually come across lazy employees sleeping during work. I'm not saying that there are no such people in a private sector. But we can find a lot of them in the other.

Even in the case of privatisation there is no big capital as compared to the public sector so there will be a value for money a lot much compared to the public sector.

And to some extent I can agree to the statement privatisation leads to less corruption.

Ya here we got an intresting topic on privatization, yes in my point of view privatization will lead to less corruption when compared to the government sector as the people who are inbound with the government organization will not take care of the profit or loss.

Where as in public sector profit and loss will play an important role so one will take Good care of what is going on the company and hence we can avoid corruption.

By privatization we can get healthy competition so that quality of product is increased.

And also people get good services unlike in public sector.

Finally privatization is one of the best way to decrease corruption in India.

According to my opion privatization is less corruption because if the employee will not work properly or efficently he/she always afraid job loss. Where as in public sector companies there is no deadline to complete their work. In public sector comapanies if a common man cannot done his work untill they pay bribe to them.

I would like to add one point in telecom sector Reliance, vodafone, Tata Docomo they proving good services and offers. Where as in public sector BSNL customer if they have any problem they just make a call to customer care it will take more time to connect. Here we can understant that public sector companies they won't bothar customer problem if any problem occurs they simply give bribe and escape from the problem. As we all know that 2G scam and 3 scam. Here all the politicians are involved. During the 2008 time telecome minister was p. Chidambaram was a one of the major role played in issuing licencing.

I think that govt personnel indulge in bribery because of their pay. I mean they do get a lot of benefits like free accommodation, other financial perks etc but what they lack is liquid cash. Moreover their salaries are literally like "peanuts". A Delhi police Constable is getting approx 12000/-. Imagine what could a person buy anything with that kind of money in delhi a place where even the creme de la creme complain about hardly surviving. So these people indulge in activities like bribery. So if the whole pay package is re-designed and if the govt people are given more liquid cash rather than cash equivalent non financial benefits like accommodation, free education for children etc. The corruption can be curbed to some extent. This applies not only in the police dept but all govt depts. . And another aspect is that its a personal choice. There are people in govt services who work only by the rules and don't do any corrupted activities.

I completely agree with this topic. It is privatization which can help eradicate corruption from India in a major way.

Just look at a private organisation its priority is profits for which they would need more number of customers. To draw customers towards itself it needs to provide good services which would attract them to stay with them. So it is important for every employee of the private organisation to behave in a pleasing with way with the government.

On the other hand in case of a government company the first and foremost thing that the employee gets is job security due to which complacency creeps in and so does the services provided by it deteriorate and they start demanding for money to get the work done which people have to pay to get their work done. It is easy for an employee to get away as there is less accountability in government organization.

Hence, privatisation may help eradicate corruption in a big way.

There is no relationship between these 2 terms privatization & corruption. Because corruption is about the person's openion. The persons who are in private sectors, there is no guarantee that they are not corrupted. So privatization is not the only solution, it requires self awareness for not being corruped in every individual. The summation of individuals becomes a mass. So it is the best way as per me.

Hi citizens,

The reason why corruption has become such a great issue is that it affects normal life of a common man.People often ask ,are corruptions not in developed and other countries.
The answer ,yes. But what makes the difference. In countries like US, they don't bribe for doing common and most basic duties like issuing licence,cards,etc.

In India corruption is pyramid-shaped where mass are affected and in US inverted where the corruption doesn't affect the mass and takes place at higher level(bureaucrats).

The privatization can be good option but consequences can't be determined.
Because Educational Institutes are one such example where the private corruption is to the maximum extent.

Hi all, in my opinion privatisation can play a major role in reducing corruption in our country. In private jobs people have the fear of loosing the job if they are found guilty of any such thing such as taking bribes or something whereas in a government job first of all the people are quite sure of te fact that the last thing that can haapen to them is to get dismissed unless and until they are caught red-handed, and in cases where people get caught of being involved in such things they can easily get away with it as the person at an higher authority will be ready to take a share in the bribe and close the matter then and their since all of them have job security in a govenment organization which is not so in case of private organiation.

In my opinion. I think that privatisation is not a only solution to eradicate corruption. We can get good result over this concern of corruption if we can change the low grade mindset of today's generation but it is impossible. But we should use technology as weapon against this. We can remove each root related to corruption with the help of technology.

I want elaborate my point with some facts.

When we go few years ago, then we can see that banking was not an easy task. We had to face employees of bank during any official work in bank. And some of them hav arrogant attitude. And still we had to interact that kind of personality. But now we hav got relief for some extent because we are using technology like internet banking, atm, smart phones hence there is no need to interact with that kind of narrow minded people.

Conclusion: we hav to invent such kind of advanced technologies n strategy which hav ability to change our system whether it is accounted to public or private sector.

As all of us knew about the government that they give such small amount of payment to the workers that they have to find another way of earning. If government gives them good payment why they ask for money other than government.

Hi friends, The topic given to us is "Privatization will lead to less corruption. ".

First of all I want to explain what privitization means. It means the change of ownership from public/government to private enterprise.

Corruption on the other hand is to payment for services or material through illegal means.

Privitization will lead to free-markets (w/o any restriction). It will lead to a healthy competition, which leads to better quality products for customers at lower prices. (which can be observed in the telecom sector when Airtel, vodafone, idea conquered the business of BSNL) Privitization leads to better accountability, transparency and better performance. (Can be observed through the quarterly results of the companies) !

But the other side of the coin shows. The satyam scandal, the 2G spectrum scam (in the same telecom sector which I have referred) in the private sector.

Conclusion: It depends on the moral ethics of a person or enterprise whether it is govt or private sector to curb corruption. As corruption in the public sector is institutionalized. Privatization provides us some flexibility to curb corruption.

Before talking about this, first i want to say something about corruption.Where corruption is happened?? e.g Suppose if someone going to some area by bike without having license, suddenly the traffic police stop that person and asking him fine or bribe. In this situation what will we do? i am sure, most of them give bribe.

In this place who did make the mistake?

In my point of view, the public was make the mistake. Because if that person paid the fine, then here we avoid the corruption. But we r n't do it?

so, we don't say privatization leads to avoid corruption. Each and every person should responsible for corruption(not only Government).And people should know their rights as well as rules and regulations.People should leave their ignorance.

But if we go to finished out the correction then we have to take some important discussion. Anti-correction has to prove them self.

In my point of view. Privatization will lead to less corruption than now. But if it is said that it will totally abolish corruption. That is not true. We have a very strong example that delhi electricity board. Is being privatized and is in the hands of reliance. But instead of getting better. The situiation has worsened. Similarly. The case with corruption. Privatization is not a method to counter corruption. Its upon us only. When private companies will come. They will also act in the same way as govermental institutions. They will also charge bribes.

If we have to counter corruption the first thing we have to do is to stop giving bribes. Its only us who are teaching these peoples to take bribe. If we'll stop. Everything will be allwright.

People out of fear of being noticed very fast may be less corrupt.

It reduces prices of goods and has less interference of government.

There is a close relation between employees and managers. They both work together in order to maximize profits in the correct way. Certainly, if there are profits, corruption will be less.

Salaries of people are high as compared to government sector. People are constantly motivated. This reduces the changes of bribes etc.

Though privatization lead to reduce the level of corruption, it is always not recommended to privatize all the sectors. For instance let us take railways. If Indian railways are privatized, then there are more chances of further increase in the fares of trains as private sectors can't handle the huge amount of transportation. Govt may manage the funds by seeking the centre's help. So if there are more sectors being privatized, then there will be a risk of monopoly also.

Privatization definately leads lesser corruption because after privatization a particular employee or anyone will be visulise more closly and secondly there is lots of people in our country who indulge in corruption just because another persons are engaged. like some of you not paying full income tax because you think its better to consuming your money by your own instead of any leader utilise your hard earned money in his personal care. so we need to developed a privatization that is not purly private. there should be hierachy like one group visulise lower one and higher one is visulised by more higher one.

Because of privatisation no one can control corruption because corruption is started when the person is in power. Private sectors are helpful to us no dout. But govt sectors work for employee welfare or other aspect of life. In private sectors fear of job are highly situated in employees mind. So in the end we can say that corrupyion is a two way procees.

Privatization, where employees are normally paid as per market rate and normally companies are taking care of other requirements. Privatization also have better management control, system and practices. These all will help to curtail corruption, if not eliminate.

In my point of the corrupution is started with the students. It incerase the day by day. In govt organisation the most of them people is corrupted and it is actped with the students why because one student is apply for the income certificate the officer is ask the some money he will give the money other wise the income certificate is not giving in oneday now in this point of view the students will encarage the corruption.

My point of view there are Few factors which curbs corruption through privatization are:

* Performance orientation-increases knowledge and skills of the employee.
* Marketability scope-increases production by providing more functions.
* Least Political Influence-helps in free decision making.
* Accountability-makes responsible.
* High salaries-controls easy money making attitude.
* Increased job satisfaction-controls corruption and increases productivity.

In my point of view.

1. Privatization or government can't control corruption until or unless there is proper management.

2. India is in 87 th rank in corruption list. These are the list of questions we have to ask ourselves. Why corruption is very high in India?

Main reason is because of its population. Ex:A person going to get a certificate in Govt. Office there will be 100 persons standing already. But that person is in a hurry. He will ask the clerk over there is there any solution to get it fast. And this is the chance for the clerk to get some money. This is how corruption exits.

Can it be eliminated? the answer is yes but only with proper management. When there is a need for more people working place put skilled people there to control the crowd in the office. Apply this concept in small cities and then to states and then the whole country will corruption free.

HI friends good evenin,

We all know that working with government sectors a worker thinks that he is the best and the system is very slow incase of punishment when a employee found taking maoney for completing their work becuase he knows that the process is very slow and he can use his power t save himself. But if we talk other hand in private sector every one is thinkng about profit and growth becuse as everyone knows that they can not grow without working hard and putting effrot. Private sectors are afraid to compete ohter companies so that if a employee found curropted nobody will bear and he will be dismissd quickly.

But only privatiazaton is not the solution. Currroption is in mind it would be either in private or govt. . Currption would not be removed untill and unless everyone has to commit to themselves to remove corruption.

Now a days people are using force and power of thier position. Everyone is currpted in government sector and who is not currrpted can not stable for more time becuse currpted people will punish him for his honesty as trnsfer so that people who want to do remove currption aso afraid. And we knpw most of the workers are in thiere position by reference of thier high positionaers not becuase fo thier education or thier skills.

Now lets talk about private sectors where the creteria forhiring of an employeeis only well education all private companies prefer well educated employees and skillled professionals who can bring thier business on top os that everyone know that to make a good carrer they have to perform and work well. Nobody have time for currption in private sectors they thing only about profti of thier company so we can say that privatization would lead t less curruption and will help in development.

Forget about Satyam scam though I agree in government institutions it is more prominent. So I think if we went to eradicate corruption first of all it should be removed from our minds and this is only possible if good education is provided to all. The system procedures should be made more transparent and a more severe punishment should be given to corrupt people.

No I strongly oppose that, because privatization will not lead to less corruption. First we should know where corruption was started. What were the reasons for corruption.

For example a person go to any govt office for any certificate, there are some formalities that person have to do. But in the present generation we are living in speed life. We don't have the patience, we want any work will complete with in the seconds. Officer says the you have to wait for 3or 4 hours than that person says that I don't have that much of time please give me with in half an hour. In that situation the officer catch your need and he asked some money for that. If you ready to pay that will habituated to you. We are encouraging the corruption.

Than coming to private organizations present days private organizations are more corrupted. Because of competition. If we take any IT company, today they are not conducting any interviews they simply taking some amount and giving jobs to them. It is also corruption. The main reason, I our India population is more. Every thing there is a competition. Some rich people they are not ready to face the competition the simply go for these type of ways. So if that public or private organization that organization have to follow some ethics and mainly people have to change their behavior they must have patience and also they are ready to face anything, than only the corruption will decrease in our India.

Hi every one.

Privatization is not the thing that matters. The thing that matters is the thinking power of the people. In every organization whether it be private or government there is corruption. But if we see broadly then the most corruption goes on is at Government organization as in Government organization the practice of force is there. Whereas in Private organization the force and source is found scarcely used. The private business sector try to use only the skilled manpower for their business so that later in the future they don't have to suffer as the skilled and educated people try to maintain their attributes. In this way in some point we can agree and say that Privatization will lead less corruption in the business.

Raja being in charge of it. Corruption is like a mad dog which might bite a good person as well as a bad one. So its not the privatization that prevents corruption from creeping into a organization, but its the strict control on oneself not to get corrupted.

I don't think privatisation will lead to less corruption because we can see different forms of corruption in our daily activities say like a person who is riding in over speed will give some money to the police and move off just like that. This is how it starts. So its very hard to change people's mind. They know its wrong, but they follow that, thinking whats wrong in doing that. This happens in very basic level, but high level it happens in crores. Thats the difference. Mainly the govt should pose strict norms and must follow that in all instance. Firstly they should remember that they are working FOR the people and NOT for their people (Family). This should grow in every politicians mind. But do you think that this is possible. NEVER!. Unless the govt changes and follow Law and Order stricly, we can never imagine a less corruption country even in dream!. Every new year many people use to take a resolution, but there is a saying that "Resolution is to Break", likewise our govt says "Policies, Law & Order is to break (ALL TIMES).

Privatization of public enterprises has generated much debate; developing economies,
which had previously opted for planning as a strategy and system for national socio-economic development.Privatization is no way related to corruption. It ll neither increase or decreases the corruption which growing rapidly day by day. And another thing to discuss is Government, we choose the Government, we vote for them, and when government is doing some mistake it means we have given them the chance to do the mistake because we have chosen them. Therefore one must always take right in choosing the government which can reduce the corruption problem.

Privatisation is not the solution of corruption in our country. The problem is the way our bearucracy and govt offices functions. They are not bound by any timeframe and deadline. If their job beacame result oriented with time frame and performance in a particular month that the problem will be sorted out. If certain deadlines are given and they have not mathced up the same their must be some deduction in their pay and perks. The competion should exists always which inspires a person to put his best. In private sector the companies and the employees compete with each other. They focus on ultimate goal and not on passing the time. If they will pass the time some other company will make merry and gain the profit. But we can privatise all the things since govt is not a profit making body. It is there to serve the people. So bit changes in the govt policy on fucntioning of govt offices can make a huge change in the whole scenario and lead us to corruption free India.

But lets not blame the employees who do this unethical act of taking bribes / unwarranted considerations..!! It is bcuz such employees nurtured or groomed in the wrong ways. The whole responsibility comes on the governing/ controlling bodies. Controllers of Govt offices fail to influence ideologies of their employees on ethical lines like...creating a sense of sincere accountability and clean competition to achieve personal growth in professional life...!!! Employees see no scope of growth in their jobs so they behave like that... The scenario is totally different in private jobs..!!

Having heard all the above comments, my perception is that ""Privatization will lead to Less Corruption" keeping in view the present situation of the country. There is no doubt that the main motive of the companies is PROFIT but at the same time we shouldn't forget that India has achieved at a lot in the field of IT Industry. INDIA is well known for its economy and at the same time India is well known for the corruption in Govt offices too. So, privatization is a pride to our country.

When people are getting more money and they know one simple funda"To earn more we have to work more" irrespective of "To earn more we have to take more (Bribe) ".

These days in Privatization also, we are getting a lot of extra facilities so we need not to afraid that we will not get pensions and all. Moreover in private sectors one can change its taste ie if one wants to change a company he can, but in Govt sector one has to marry his job even though he doesn't love it. :).

So all of us need quality in everything;so for quality we turn back to privatization and that may lead some parents to get bribe for getting quality of education for their children. So by developing the quality in everything means both government as well as private sector only corruption reduced to be better.

According to me, in goverment sectors, emplyoers are not bound by strict rules and orders. They hardly have to work to meet with any deadlines. So they obviously take their jobs for granted. Now in such situation if a common man goes to a government office he has to bribe that person to get his job done. Because until and unless you bribe them they won't take you seriously. This is corruption which takes place at any level in the industry. In the private sector, employers are bound to strict rules and have to think twice before taking their work lightly. Here they don't have job security so they have to keep on giving their best performance. Also at each level in a private sector people have to answer their seniors and also have to maintain good name of their company which will restrict them from doing anything wrong, because it will indirectly affect themselves. So obviously privatization will lead to decrease in corruption.

Privatization can result into less corruption as there are transparency at different levels of hierarchy, but keeping one thing sure that greed of owner of organisation does not come into picture. Owner of an organisation want to run the organisation for their own profits, they are least concerned with the social benefits until or unless they are forced by the government. In government sector social benefits are at the higher priority by legislation etc. But actually not followed as it should be. Many a times people don't perform their duties honestly, job assurety is of-course plus point of government sector but this make them treating it for-granted.

Privatization is certain sectors is inevitable as government agencies are not too efficient and plagued by various scam and scandals. But privatizing all and every sector can backfire for our economy as well as the human development index.

After all the bottomline of all companies is maximizing PROFIT. Dominance of a company in a sector can result in its wielding a lot of power which can result in no regulation of prices of commodities and services as well as compromise on quality and quantity.

In government run institutions corruption is at various levels but in private companies corruption would be at the highest level. In my opinion there isn't any difference.
Thus privatization would result in a small section of society using the society as a medium to mint money rather than fulfilling its needs.

Indeed privatization will reduce corruption to certain extent again if and only if the regualtory bodies controlling it are orthodox. We make thousands of rules but what is the use if it is not followed. It all depends on the mentality of people which doesnt only come through education but through good practice and culture along with strict laws. For eg:"two people are walking on road, eating bananas and peeling out its skin and throwing on the way, despite of taking a look on the Dustbin borad just lying nearby.

After doing this they say hey this is not America so don't bother just relax". What does that mean people are taking things granted because they are not dealt with strict laws. If the same happens in America, those two will be heavily penalized by traffic police in form of fine or imprisonment. "If the crowd is enough conscious and literate this scenerio won't ocur at all. Use the dustbin when it has ben provided to you. So, both people (first) as well as goverment (second) has to change in their way else we should stay hopeless that's it. This just a small example.

One thing is that they get high salary compare to government jobs and they are promote to a best position. But as we compare to government jobs then there we get pensions which we get after we are retired. And that is the main advantage where we feel secure when we are in our old age.

Yes, according to me privatisation will lead to less corruption because if a sector is get privatised then it will compete with other sectors and try to be better. And if a person employed in private sector were caught in any offence will be immediately dismissed, so a employee have fear of that and this curb him to do offence. But on the other side in a government sector if a employee were caught in any offense then it take so many time to dismiss him. And a employee in pvt. Sector try to improve thier efficiency for getting promotion in thier field.

Yes of course privatisation is needed to curb the corruption because the private companies believe in performance more than anything. The PSU's really lack in performance because a lot of people (state, union authorities n finally the politicians) can interfere with the working and these people are not at all worried about performance, on the other hand private companies are controlled by a handful of highly skilled people which will never let down the company name at any cost so privatisation is unavoidable.

This power can not be handed over to private companies as this can be misused for their own advantage. So complete privatization is not possible. For example, in 2G scam, telecom ministry was the licencing authority. Along with our former telecom minister A raja who is a government authority, there are many private companies executives who has been charged. Corruption is 2 way process. One person gives bribe and other one takes it. So problem is that private and government people create a web of nexuses. So corruption cant be checked by privatization. Rather it can only be checked be preventing ones own self from indulging in it.

In my opinion privatisation is not the tool to curb the corruption. It is the state of mind of people at such position who can curb the corruption. If it comes about removing corruption by privatision, it is not possible because every private organisation works on concept of making money and maximum profitisation. They don't mind the MONEY is coming in which way either by bribe or by any other illegal way.
Moreover a person working with private organisation may also be envolved with corruption because if MONEY or any other facility will come as BRIBE to any one then, it is only the loyality and honesty of that person whether he should accept it or not,there it doesn't matter whether the person is Private employee or Govt. employee.........

I totally agree with the statement. There are some areas which desperately need private sector intervention. Commonwealth games, 2G spectrum scam, Adarsh society scam etc reveal the truth that how political leaders are misusing their position and power. If private sector enters in these areas, corruption can be reduced to a great extent. Because unlike the political leaders private companies can not take bribe as it will affect their reputation and they will do everything to keep their image clean.

Yeah, in my point of view privatization will totally change our soceity which will be benificial for us. Bacause in our country India every one want gov. Job because general people think that there would not be more burden of work and we can work freely and they want money easily and pay less attention towards his work. But in privet sector there is more dicipline and every worker give their 100%. Cruption originates in human mind due greed and thats kind of thiking is not possible in private sector. Our soceity can take more benefi adn every one would work with more attention adn they would far from greed.

Yes privatization will reduce the corruption. Why because

1. There is no chance to the common man to exchange hands in this sector.
2. Deaf neatly they have rules and regulations from subordinate to superiors.
3. No hands of Politicians, Government and common man.
4. People had lake of knowledge to know how to do their works with this sectors.

In my point of view, Privatization is the thing that creates job opportunities, but not for all sectors, mainly the service sector has to concentrate more so that the privatization is not maintained, like eduction sector, while the education sector will partly privatized to get more quality of education.

It depends.Private institutions can't be blamed always.Because if a private institution has a well developed technology with it, it can enjoy economies of scale and thereby offer high quality products at a low cost.In this they may save people from corruption.

I won't think privatization would lead to less corruption because main motive of many private institution is on profit maximization so due to this, instead of checking corruption,it would lead many private entrepreneur to indulge in many malpractices including corruption. No doubt private intervention would break the barrier of 'low standard of living' by generating more employment opportunity but still many of the activity should be cater by the non profit making institution i.e government ..

The penurious condition of the country's economy has caused the persons with very less salary to be bribed & scams to maintain proper family standards.
the last but important is the lack of virtues which used to be the very important part of Indians.We are not aware towards the moral duties which we must follow.

First we should remember one thing very clearly that in any private or goverment sector corruptions is not there. Corruption is in the mind of peoples they are responsible for this we the people are responsible for this deases. Now we are shouting that corruption is the vital hinderence for the country. We are so much self centered in this time that to get the work done we can do any thing. To get the success quickly we can take any shorcurt way thats why this growing up so much.

We just forget about our moral values ethics every good thing we are forgotten. We need every thing in readymade form we don't have the patient that why this problem is takin so huge headec for every one. Every class of people are responsible this. So we have to find the solution.

Yes, I think privatization is necessary in most of the government sectors, as we all know that our nation is suffering from the the corruption. All the people related to the privatization are focussed on the development of the whole system not only of themselves. So increase in privatization will definitely going make the nation.

From developing one to the developed one.

Privatisation is gud....but it should be in specific area only because where there gov. can take the dicision private sector can't e.g Hallate(GOv. hospital).
so in some cases privatisation is fine.

There is advantage is that private based activity emerged the quick result n less corrupt than gov.

Privatisation cannot be a panacea for corruption problem. It is not possible to privatise all the government sectors. But of course to an extent certain areas can be allowed for privatisation. We need to strike a balance between Private Public relationship to ensure smooth functinoning of our economy. The goverment should keep vigil on the functioning of the private firms and check any misappropriation of funds and money-laundering activities.

Privatisation certainly leads to higher living standards by enhancing competition in market, but there can be some untoward fallouts as well. The only expedient being the profit motive can lead to consumer exploitation.
