MEASURES TO CONTROL CORRUPTIONThe Right To Information Act (RTI) gives
one all the required information about the government. The Public Information Officer (PIO) is responsible for collecting all the information which citizens want and providing them with the same. If the PIO denies to give the information then he will be penalized and fined upto Rs.25000

Another potent check on corruption is Central Vigilence Commision (CVC). Any cases of corruption or complaints can be reported to CVC. CVC also creates more awareness among people regarding the consequences of giving and taking of bribes and corruption.
Special courts for speedy justice can be established. Much time should not elapse between registration of a case and delivery of the judgement.

Strong and stringent laws need to be enacted which gives no room for the guilty to escape.
In many cases, the employees opt for corrupt means out of compulsion and not by choice. Some people are of the opinion that the wages paid are insufficient to feed their families. If they are paid better, they would not be forced to accept bribe.
