India most corrupt country in Asia: Corruption rampant in education, healthcare, says report

As far as fighting corruption goes, things are not looking well for India which was named the most corrupt country in Asia-Pacific region. Almost seven out of ten people had to pay a bribe to access public services, said a Forbes report while quoting a study by Transparency International.

Transparency International, a Berlin based NGO working against corruption, spoke to nearly 22,000 people across 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific to understand the levels of corruption in the region. While India remains the most corrupt country in this region, with 69 per cent bribery rates, Japan came out as the least corrupt nation, with a 0.2 per cent bribery rate, the report said.


Shockingly, number of times bribes were demanded for accessing public education and healthcare facilities is also very high in India, the report shows. Around 58 per cent and 59 per cent bribery rates were seen in education and healthcare sectors in India respectively. Times when people paid a bribe was also seen to be almost equally high for police, identification documents and basic amenities, the report stated.

Noticeably, India was found to be more corrupt than Vietnam, Thailand, Pakistan and Myanmar in the report. Vietnam turned out to be the second-most corrupt country with 65 per cent bribery rates. Thailand showed 41 per cent bribery rates whereas Pakistan had 40 per cent bribery rates.

People in India are hopeful, though, that the government is working in the right direction to curb corruption. Report by Transparency International showed that 51 per cent Indians believe that the government is doing well in keeping a check on corruption. This proves to be a fig leaf for the Narendra Modi government which came to power on promises of curbing corruption.

On the other hand, around 72 per cent denizens of Thaliand have faith in their government's anti-corruption initiatives. Meanwhile, only 45 per cent people in Pakistan think that their government is effective in bringing down corruption. The question was not asked in China, the survey report stated.

Some important things mentioned in the article which i wanted to share hence the long post!:(
 
They have to automise the services so that while going for the services no human hand is involved. This can make the process more transparent. This will also not completely eliminate but reduce corruption.Its your ethics which can make you standout.

These people are there everywhere across ever nation but why India is labeled as most corrupt nation in Asia? May be a more stronger system is in need of the hour or should we move to a better system on par with the developed world?

education, poverty are 2 main factors... ppl are exploited, hence they vote for useless candidates based on caste etc..
then these politcians, run a curropt system.

Unless Religion and Caste (or atleast caste) are banned on all official documents except marriage caste based parties will be on the rise and will exploit people for votes. May be India can become the "United States on India" and have an FBI type powerful setup with more powers than the current CBI with huge force strength too so corruption are handled even tougher.
