Experts Discuss Corruption Challenges and Transparency Efforts in IndiaPreviousNext

Corruption remains a significant challenge in India, influencing elections, governance, and public trust. Despite efforts like digitalisation and the Right to Information Act aimed at enhancing transparency, issues persist, including new barriers for marginalized groups. Recent student protests over the NEET exam paper leak have reignited debates on accountability, recalling earlier anti-corruption movements. Experts highlight that while corruption's forms may have evolved, effective grievance redressal and inclusive access to services are essential to address the problem comprehensively.
