<\/i><\/b>If there is corruption in any organization\/system, good governance is not possible.
\nIf that particular organization deals with any aspect of the management of basic services\/city, then the city gets into bad shape & all its inhabitants are affected in a negative manner.<\/div>\n
\n
Its problems keep aggravating, as city is a dynamic entity. Growing population offers new problems\/ challenges everyday.<\/div>\n
\n
But, good governance  can only deliver optimum results.<\/div>\n
\n
So, all best practices for bringing about good governance need to be identified & introduced into the system.. by regular training\/upgradation of skills, of all the employees of that organization.
\nThis is possible only, if there is strong will at the `Top` to bring about change.
\nIf it is there, then all can\/will fall in line.<\/div>\n
\n
Corruption has increased over the years, because values & ethics, have taken a big beating-because of many causes & reasons.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
<\/strong>Self-interests over society interests is one of the primary reasons.
\nEffective mechanism to curb this malady need to be brought back.
\nQuick justice-delivery,accountability, exemplary punishments for the corrupt, incentives, protections & rewards for the whistle blowers, introduction of moral values, pressure & pointing finger of society, on ill-gotten money, perks & privileges, are a few of the many ways to bring about sanity in the existing convoluted system.<\/p>\n

How to do it?\u2014
\nVery difficult , but certainly, achievable in a well drawn strategy.
\nThe need is to take many co-ordinated steps.<\/p>\n

Some of the steps, can be\/ are<\/strong>
\n-Proper care about the integrity of the new recruits in local bodies\/Govt..
\n-Motivation from top-management.
\n-Regular on the house training programmes.
\n-Enforcement of existing vigilance rules in a fair manner by the vigilance departments of each organization\/CVC.
\n-Rewards to the honest employees & quick punitive actions against dishonest employees
\n-Elected representatives & top management to set examples of honest dealings. Unless this is done, positive change is difficult
\n-Active & aware citizens & media.
\n-Use of RTI
\n-Efficient & quick judicial system- Stray cases of corruption reported in judiciary need to be investigated soon & punitive actions must to be taken in a time bound manner, if required without any long debate.<\/p>\n

Sustained & not sporadic efforts are needed to check this menace of our society.<\/strong>
