Dear Friends,

Let me define "scam". Scam is irregularity - by a single or group of people - in public resource (money, land, license, food, medicine etc) for their own needs. Before moving to the cause of scam, its effects and treatment by regulatory bodies. I would like to ask to question to all my dear spectators that How many of us haven't given bribe (not even a single time) for fulfillment of our own desire ? I think everyone has. Another question. How many of us has voted without taking money from party worker or without any influence of caste and religion ? You will get countable no. Of people who has not taken note for vote or has given vote without coming under influence of caste or religion. There is the problem and there itself is the solution. Before pointing to finger towards others we should correct our self. Some or the other way we are the culprits of this curse. We as individual should take step where ever we find corruption.

Now talking about the regulatory bodies.

1. Most important point is the regulatory body should be an independent body (Like SC and EC) , otherwise it will not take much time to become a handful key for government to treat for their own benefits (like CBI).

2. There should be a quick channel (like website. One of my friend has suggested already) to launch such complaints.

3. The complaint launched should have a verification team (like a third party verification to tackle false complaints) which should submit their report within 15 days of time.

4. After its been verified, the complaints should get approved by this verification team and it should be processed further for investigation team with a time line based upon the size of issue. Please note that, this all steps are to be carried through website with mail triggering at each step to maintain transparency.

5. Investigation team should start their work immediately as soon the complaint is approved, and daily progress should be registered on site.

If govt. Really want to eradicate corruption they should come up with such kind of ideas. And being a true citizen of a country we should bring changes in our views also to step ahead. One more point, corruption can't be eradicated 100% but at least by 60 to 70 percent. Because there may be huge chance that member of regulatory body them self are corrupt. But I am very much sure that it will reduce by huge margin as compare to current situation.

Scams are the result of greed of a person. Some balance is required between professional and personal life but when a person's personal motives dominates his dedication for work this will lead to inefficiency and unwanted use of power and responsiblities.

When large amount of resources are misused it becomes a scam.

What can we do to stop these cases of corruption?Why is Civil Vigilance Commission not able to reduce such cases?

The reason is in all these scams there are high level ministers involved (take 2G Scam Telecm Minister was involved or CWG scam IOA HEAD Suresh Kalmadi and many more). CVC corruption regulatory body comes under Government control so its very difficult for them to take direct action against the minister of Govt.

So what I now required is an independent regulatory body which is independent and have power to investigate against any minister or higher government official. It should also have department which will register and consider comlaints of comman man as these small level corruptions results in big scams.

Scams have become major threat to people in our country. We must try to inculcate the feeling of responsibility in each and every citizen. They must have the feeling that this my country and my people. Then they are not going to do any kind of mistake.

When a person changes himself firstly then automatically nation changes. Why to blame on others for not fallowing rule. Let us change over self n then try to change the nation.

Hi friends.

Today corruption is one of the big challenges for India's growth. Take this example if we go to get OBC certificate, there th clerk ask 100 RS for percapita. It became a regular thing. Even thought they didn't ask people give bribe volunteerly for their urgent. Like that in RTO matter also if we have every documents properly why they ask bribe. By the way now scam minkled with our Indian life. First people should get change ourself then only we can point our finger to regulatory bodies and others.

Lack of patriotism-pride in being Indian- is one of the major reasons for such rampant corruption. Selfishness is on the rise and individuals are not concerned about the society or the nation. Everybody is concerned about his or her own welfare or family's welfare. The nation suffers lack of ethics in all spheres of life. This country that is rich in noble ideas, morals and values has, now, chosen to ignore these good norms for an exalted life. Material prosperity takes precedence over moral uprightness. As long as this is the attitude of the majority in India, we have no hope to make our land corruption-free. We should practise what we preach. That is the mantra for making corruption less pervasive in India.

Regulatory bodies can just catch those people who are involved in these scams, these bodies can not change the mentality of the people who encourage these scams. The main reason behind these scams is corruption which starts from the general public. They start giving bribe to the officials to complete their work in a short period of time. And after that as a result it affects the public itself. As we can take example of 2G scam in which the companies give bribe to A.RAJA to get licences just for their benefit. So I think regulatory bodies can just support in reducing these scams but the main task is for the people to change their mind and remove corruption.

Thanks.

SCAMS be it of 2G, related to CWG, adarsh housing society scam, related to Indian black money in swiss bank, are all termites gradually eating the base strength of our democracy and the result of these shameful corrupt activities falls directly to common man.

So I firmly believe that regulatory bodies comprised of efficient members (obviously dedicated to country service and honest, well minded offcourse!) as well as strict norms. The regulatory bodies should be steadfast in their decisions and take into consideration each and every field of our society.

Hi friends,

From my point of view yes there must be better regulatory bodies which can take care of all big events to be corruption free. But but they must be honest enough to serve properly (i. E honestly) and for that we all not as individuals but as a whole need to impart smartness, daring attitude to raise voice against wrong and honesty towards nation in our children and in ourselves.

I am an engineering graduate and was thinking that there should be a website where people can submit there problems regarding corruption or bribe. That must be state wise so that it would become easy to handle initially. Every problem must be available as public comment also, so that each and every citizen can read that and can raise voice against corruption.

To all these, I just want to add that this is the morality and a person's value which are supposed to be enhanced and these are adopted by a person through his school and college time, so basically the root cause lies in the education system only. These have become more of a business rather than imparting the true values and the Indian culture to the students. So the students starts getting into this activities at a very early stage only.
