To add to the below answers - The change lies in you and in every individual. Start the change in you.

If you are stopped by any official for any offense (say traffic bypassing) and he is asking bribe. Then say a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to him. Don't entertain him. Instead ask him to file a chargesheet and pay the fine in the court.

This is just an example. Just be the change.

FOLLOWING ARE THE STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO PROTECT INDIA FROM CORRUPTION.
1. Teach morality in homes and schools. That's morality in the larger sense, the concept of right and wrong. Unfortunately there are many, especially those who gravitate toward politics, who do not understand the word. Power corrupts, ultimate power corrupts ultimately.

2. Minimize the power of government. We should insist on politicians who vow to decrease government size. We must do away with the programs which are impossible to verify. Government sponsored "entitlement" type programs are a bottomless pit that sucks money. Corrupt officials find easy ways to siphon off some of the money from those programs. Entitlement programs are ineffective and offer far too many opportunities for corruption. "Welfare" type programs are managed far more efficiently by charitable organizations. Charitable medical programs are far more efficient than a government sponsored health system.

3. Term Limits for politicians would eliminate the entrenchment and corruption of anyone who would want to make politics a profession. After being in office for an extended period, all politicians start looking for supplements to their income. Guess who gets to pay.

4. Inspectors, administrators and other government employees should never be allowed to make a decision without the agreement of a second person. Two people should be sent if there is ever a possibility of corruption or graft. They should never be paired up as "partners", but instead they should be randomly assigned to work together for a day. Departments should offer rewards or bonuses for finding mistakes or evidence of graft. These are just some quick ideas that didn't require much thought. I'm sure a panel or committee could figure out some effective and inexpensive ways to decrease corruption.

Hi yashwanth
You have asked a very important question which is having an impossible answer. But if we indians will become serious to remove it,it's possible to remove the corruption.
We should start from our home and surrounding to erase this. It has became our habit to get done our works any how by paying even to the clerks and peon. We should stop doing it. Same time Govt. should have some policies to give proper protection and promotion to people to decrease the corruption.
