CORRUPTION "Corruption free government is not a necessary condition for rapid economic development. If the corporate and institutions work and uncertainty is checked, progress is possible". S. Swaminathan
When a person does not do his duty in an honest manner and with morality, we can call him as a corrupt person and this practice can be termed as Corruption. Corruption is an act done by taking undue advantage of one's position, power or authority to gain certain rewards and favours. For example, if a teacher is not teaching properly in a class, then this can be called as corruption as well. This is so because the teacher is drawing his/her payments without performing his/her duties appropriately. This holds true for every sector and every field. Corruption
