Corruption:
Corruption simply means bribery in general understanding but it's more than that. Corruption means injustice, misuse or disorder in morality [bad habits/character], monetary [bribery/fraught/laundering], mental [negative attitude], physical [unwanted provocations] etc.

Corruptions of any kind are nuisances to the society. Corruption is the root causes of all the evils in the society. It hampers progress. It brings unhappiness. It produces terrorists. It brings war.

So, it is high time for all the thoughtful people to come forward for stopping this social menace called Corruption. To do this, let us discuss the Problems & Solutions as follows:

Problem 1: Lack of spirituality among people.
Solution: Develop and help to develop spiritual qualities like love, purity, cleanliness, duty, sincerity, empathy, non-injury, equity, unity, philanthropy, justice, happiness etc. among people Let spirituality / morality be taught in academic institutions as a compulsory subject of study at every stage.

Let all the leaders in the society develop and practice spirituality at the first place while exercising leadership, so that general people follow their steps. Where there is spirituality [light], there will be no corruption [darkness].

Problem 2: Misguidance of followers by Religious Leaders.
Solution: All the religious leaders viz Hindu Gurus, Muslim Leaders, Christian Fathers, Buddhist Monks etc should preach spirituality / morality as the universal religious teachings not fanatic / bigoted / malicious /dogmatic / ritualistic / narrow minded teachings that stands against unity in diversity. Spirituality should be the common teaching to the people by the religious leaders.

Problem 3: Corrupted elections.
Solution: Corruption during the elections i.e. distribution of money, intoxications, drugs, throwing parties/feasts etc to the voters by the candidates or demanding them by the voters to the candidates should be stopped. This excess of expenses during elections are the root causes of corruption by the elected public leaders when they become Ministers, MPs or MLAs etc.

General public also cannot stop them from corruption as they got corrupted money & treats during election. So, there should be strict rules to punish both the candidates and the voters who give or demand money etc. Only when elections are held corrupt free, then we can expect corrupt free government functioning.

Problem 4: Corrupted Government Department Heads.
Solution: The heads of all the government departments should be the examples of dutiful & corrupt free people of integrity. They should see how his/her department is functioning in the interest/welfare of the people. Result oriented, innovative plans/projects should be implemented sincerely & effectively. Any careless & undutiful staff should be subjected to immediate disciplinary action.

Proper utilization of funds is a must. Department heads should not play blame game to Ministers etc, rather they themselves should be responsible for their respective department functioning.

Problem 5: Undutiful academic/training Institute Heads.
Solution: The heads of educational & other training institutes viz VCs, Principals, Head Masters, Head Mistresses, CEOs, Directors etc should be people of integrity and set examples of dutifulness. Then, they should see that all the teaching & non-teaching staff are discharging their duties properly.

The teachers should be dutiful and teach the students not just for salary but to produce good students. Education is not business [unfortunately now the reverse is true!]. Education is for making of good human beings not money making alone.

Problem 6: Narrow minded Organization Heads.
Solution: Presidents, Secretaries & other Heads of the Social Welfare Organizations, Non Governmental Organizations, Revolutionary Groups should be the people of ideal characters, corrupt free, dutiful people of integrity with broad outlook for common good above their narrow group interests.

All demands and protests should be done in such a way that their interests are served while the public interests are not affected. They can take huge roles in enhancing spirituality / morality in the society as role models.

Problem 7: Corrupted Ministers, MPs, MLAs, Governors, Secretaries, IAS officers.
Solution: Ministers, MPs, MLAs should always keep people's welfare above all in all their undertakings. All their dealings should be based on justice. Quality work/control must be ensured. They should not exercise their power for selfish ends. They should be paid good salaries & other facilities to ensure them live decently and discharge public duties smoothly without any fear or pressure.

Ministers, MPs, MLAs are the most important people to stop corruption. Direct government functionaries like Governors, Secretaries, IAS officers should be models of dutiful, corrupt free people of integrity. They should stand for justice and public good.

Problem 8: Parents / Guardians fault.
Solution: Parents / Guardians' first duty is to give birth to children whom they can guide properly. Early & unplanned marriages should be avoided. Parents / Guardians should have spiritual qualities and inherit them to their children.

They should ensure that their children become good human beings with spiritual qualities while providing higher education. They should not encourage children to any kind of corrupted dealings. Morality is above money. Home is the best place for spiritual / moral education.

Problem 9: Corruption in Health Care.
Solution: It is very dangerous because human life is at stake. Unqualified/substandard doctors/surgeons may cost human life due to wrong prescriptions or wrong operations. Drugs from substandard manufacturers can damage people's health severely or even death. Undutiful doctors again cost human life. So, it is in the public interest that all kinds of corruptions be stopped in Health Care.

Problem 10: Corruption in Public Works.
Solution: Substandard office buildings, hospitals, complexes, roads, bridges, canals, walls, drainages … are all the clearly reflected images of corruption in this sector. Department heads, Contractors, Engineers, Suppliers have drained out public money in their pockets with the dismal work outputs. It is really a pitiful situation indeed. This corruption in public works should be stopped immediately with the exemplary punishment of those who are guilty of misuse of the public funds.

Problem 11: Corruption in Police, Army, Navy & Air force.
Solution: Problem with the police force is the misuse of force on common people while overlooking injustice of the high commands. Police is meant for social security, for punishing the guilty & protecting the innocent people. Corruption of police at all levels have to stop immediately.

Army is meant for defending the country against foreign invasions not for harassing the innocent citizens. Navy & Air force personals are not supposed to live in luxury in the name of water & air defense. All the three defense wings should do social work while there is no war else it is a waste of public money to maintain them. Corruption in gun deal or boats/ships/aircraft carrier or fighter jets etc. are to be stopped at all levels.

Problem 12: Corruption in other departments.
Solution: Whether Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture, Veterinary, Public Distribution Systems, Accounts, Statistics, Trade & Commerce, Legal, Social Welfare, Forestry, banks, post Offices, Irrigation & Flood Control or any other government department you name it and there is found corruption in one way or the other. So, now all these nonsense called corruptions have to stop in all the departments else the future is very gloomy for the society.

Problem 13: Corruption in all kinds of appointments.

Solution: Stop bribery in all kinds of appointments. Appoint only qualified & merited people. Justice should rule not influence or quota please.

Problem 14: Corrupted Youths.
Solution: Today's misguided youths are dazzled by money & material power. They are materially overfed and spiritually starved. They are getting lost in material whirlpool while neglecting spiritual qualities. This trend of youths result in looking for fast & easy money to fulfill their immediate material desires while forgetting efforts to earn/deserve them.

Then come the delinquent crimes graduating to armed gangs. Rest of the youth are doing blind imitation of Hollywood & Bollywood, drug culture of the spoiled children of the west, uncontrolled sex, indiscriminate eating & drinking habits, free use of fire-arms, loss of interest in studies, general lack of discipline etc eating up their moral fabrics. Today's youths are the worst products of the morally degraded modern society.

Instead of revolting against corruption they themselves are involved in the corruption. Now is the time for the youths to wake up and analyze things, take up good things & discard the bad, not to follow people blindly but use their intelligence to do what is best for them and revolt against corruption of all kinds.

All said & read, it is of no use to browse through this article just for the fun of reading. If the readers take up & practice at least a fraction of the suggested solutions for stopping corruption of all kinds, it will be of lasting good to the society.

Let's be the soldiers of fortune in the war against corruption. Let justice rule the world.
