Indias future with the Jan Lokpal Bill

It has forgotten corruption has many variants that no single law can end.

So what would be

need to do ?

Change from top to bottom

Similar changes are required in the states. The situation

there is much more alarming. For example the average conviction rate in anti-corruption cases there: 30%, compared to CBIs 70%

The Supreme Court had asked the center to advise the

states in this regard. The advice has not been heeded

Conti.
The procedure for disciplinary proceedings needs

much simplification. At present there are multiple stages and too much opportunity to the accused to defend himself

In cases of promotion, the procedure for vigilance

clearance should be clearly defined

Thank You

Urgent need to set up special courts. States have to do

this

The rule that those whose performance is not up to the

mark can be retired after 50 should be used to weed out the corrupt
