Corruption in India: Persistent Challenges and Efforts

Corruption is a big problem in India, with many government officials taking bribes or doing illegal things for money.

For example, a police officer was suspended for having too much money from extortion, and a manager was caught taking a bribe.

Judges say corruption is like a disease that can hurt the country.

People often feel they have to pay bribes to get things done.

India is ranked 96 out of 180 countries for corruption, which is not good.

There are laws to protect people who report corruption, but many have been hurt or killed for doing so.

The government is trying to fix these problems by making rules clearer and filling job openings in agencies that fight corruption.
