endanger the morals of an individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country. Greeting to everyone, I, Vani Gera of class XB, strongly support the topic Strict govt policies- the only way to eradicate corruption. No country is immune to corruption. Corruption is one of the most pervasive types of crime: it fuels transnational crime, wastes public resources, destabilizes countries, and impedes good governance. According to a research Corruption costs India Rs 1,555 thousand crores every year. That is a huge sum of money. A large section of the population in India is poor and uneducated which necessitates huge public investments for the provision of basic needs. There is a top–to–down rather than a decentralized approach to decision-making. Corruption corrodes the government’s ability to help grow the economy in a way that benefits all citizens. But the political will to build strong and transparent institutions can turn the tide against corruption. Where there is a political will, there’s a way. The law enforcement authorities also have a crucial role to play in this context. For instance, the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 holds significant importance. It serves as a crucial tool in curbing corrupt practices and promoting integrity in public administration. The only thing, that has to be ensured, is proper, impartial, and unbiased use of various anti-corruption Acts to take strong, deterrent prompt, and timely legal action against the offenders, irrespective of their political connections, and money or muscle power. Fast-track judiciary courts to resolve corruption-related cases may help in reducing the intensity of the problem. Curbing corruption is a challenge that requires persevering on many fronts, but one that pays huge dividends. It starts with political will, continuously strengthening institutions to promote integrity and accountability, and global cooperation.
