CORRUPTION
Corruption in India is a major issue that adversely affects its
economy. A study conducted by Transparency International in year 2005
found that more than 62% of Indians had firsthand experience of paying bribes
or influence peddling to get jobs done in public offices
successfully. In its study conducted in year 2008, Transparency
International reports about 40% of Indians had firsthand experience of paying
bribes or using a contact to get a job done in public office.
In
2012 India was ranked 94th out of 176 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, tied with Benin, Colombia, Djibouti, Greece,
Moldova, Mongolia, and Senegal.
Most
of the largest sources of corruption in India is entitlement programs and
social spending schemes enacted by the Indian government. Examples
include Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee Act and National Rural Health Mission. Other daily sources of corruption
include India's trucking industry which is forced to pay billions in bribes
annually to numerous regulatory and police stops on its interstate highways.
Indian
media has widely published allegations of corrupt Indian citizens stashing
trillions of dollars in Swiss banks. Swiss authorities, however, deny these
allegations.
The
causes of corruption in India include excessive regulations, complicated taxes
and licensing systems, numerous government departments each with opaque
bureaucracy and discretionary powers, monopoly by government controlled
institutions on certain goods and services delivery, and the lack of
transparent laws and processes. There are significant variations in level
of corruption as well as in state government efforts to reduce corruption
across India.
SMARTPHONE

is a mobile phone with more advanced
computing capability and connectivity than basic feature phones.
Early Smartphone typically combined the features of a mobile
phone with those of another popular consumer device, such as a personal digital
assistant (PDA), a media player, a digital camera, or a GPS navigation unit. Modern Smartphone
includes all of those features, plus the features of a touch screen, including web browsing, Wi-Fi, and 3rd-party apps.

powered by Google's Android and Apple's IOS mobile operating
systems.
