P. Chakravarthy

Abstract :

<p><p><p><p><p>Corruption is the use of public office for private gains. Today is the greatest enemy of good-governance and causing harm to democracy and development.” Corruption is not accident by product of the system because of the venality of a few but a defining element on which the edifice rests.”It is not likely to be fully eliminated, but the objective is to minimize it so that it becomes an exception and not the rule. Since 1968 many attempts were made in parliament to pass anti-corruption act in India but it failed to include the civil society representatives and there after its implementation and enforcement will present further challenges in a country as vast and diverse as India. RTI act is fast emerging as an effective anti-corruption tool. RTI laws as they are commonly called grant citizens legal rights to access information held by their governments, inging much needed transparency or opaque functioning of governments. </p></p></p></p></p>
