Survey: 86% People Say India Is a Corrupt Country

RMN News Service – which discusses the burning issues that have immediate impact on various governments, businesses, and the lives of commoners – has launched a major research project to compile a report on corruption in India. The research report will carry detailed information on corruption including data, interviews, and case studies from primary as well as secondary sources.

As part of this project, RMN News Service is running a perception survey to know people’s views on corruption in India. The findings of the ongoing survey – as of April 4, 2022 – are given below in the charts.

Are Indian anti-corruption agencies working honestly?

Almost all the respondents (96%) say that the anti-corruption agencies of India are not working honestly. All the anti-corruption agencies - such as the Lokpal, Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), Lokayuktas, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Economic Offences Wings (EOWs) of Police, state police departments, and others - are working hand in glove with the corrupt government functionaries.

Are corrupt Indian bureaucrats and politicians punished suitably?

Since corrupt bureaucrats and politicians enjoy full impunity and the judicial systems are quite weak in India, 98% people said in the survey that the corrupt officials and political leaders are not being punished suitably. As a result, corruption is increasing rapidly in India.
