The country has topped the list five times from the view point of corruption. However there are many reasons behind this galloping corruption. Thirst for power, pelf, wealth and money is the root cause of corruption. Greed, avarice and dishonesty, nepotism and favoritism also contribute to the cause corruption. The consequence of corruption has a far reaching negative effect on socio-economic condition of our country. It has made the country a bottomless basket. It has corroded the economy, retorted the economic growth and baffled the various, development programmers. By practicing corruption the corrupt are growing richer and richer and the poor are becoming poorer and poorer. The widespread practice of corruption should not be allowed to go uncontrolled. The corrupted people should be brought down with an iron rod. It should be checked, controlled and prevented at any cost so that the country get rid of this national malady and see the ray of hope of development and the people not involved in it can heave a sigh of relief and hope for the best and better days.
