SUGGESTIONS

It is very difficult to eradicate corruption but not impossible. If we follow some concept which I am going to mention below:

Equality

There should be as much equality as possible of the society. The division of society into classes of extremely poor and extremely rich and middle class without enough facilities and chance to progress should go.

Education

Education should be within the reach of all manner of people. When people get universally education, they will be able to work more efficiently and their earnings also will rise. They will be generally satisfied and the course of corruption will be mostly eliminated.

Honest Leader & Politicians

The leader and politicians should be the men of integrity. Their honest devotion in leadership and fair dealing will set a pattern of life and work for the nation.

Religious Role

A religious and moral atmosphere in society will create a sense of honest living among the people. Our religious scholars, teachers, newspapers, radio and TV can play an important role in this connection.

Punishment for corrupt people

Corrupt government servants and anyone who accepting bribes in any form should be punished after a proper trail in a court of law.
