Should Corporates Be Included in Anti-Corruption Laws? Let's Discuss the Lokpal Debate

Today I read a News Item titled "Bring Corporates Under Lokpal to Check Graft," which goes on to say: "As the Lokpal debate rages, the Central Vigilance Commission feels corporates should be brought under the purview of the proposed anti-corruption bill to check graft effectively..."

It goes on to say: "...At present, CVC has no power to check corruption in private firms..."

The Full News Item can be read at: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/...eck-graft.html

(In the context of the "News Item," I wanted to share with you a "pps." But the 'Query Window' has no provision for it. I'll wait for the 'Thread' to get started.)

My efforts to UPLOAD the 'pps' have failed, and there is no help from others. So, I WRITE further on the 'Subject':

It's High-Time for INTROSPECTION!

What is CORRUPTION?

CASH/KIND exchanged for some FAVOR ('exchange' is used to mean 'given' or 'taken' - as, CORRUPTION is a two-way street!)

Hindi Dictionary gives the meaning for Corruption/Corrupt as:
saDana, bigADa, vyabhichAra, doShaNa, bhrashtaachaar, bhrashtatha, khoTApana, ghUsa, etc.

I have - MY OWN - 'all-encompassing definition':

"DOING or INDULGING in dishonest/deceitful/wasteful/unfair ACTIONS which create LOSS/DAMAGE/DEPRIVATION/DISCONTENT/SADNESS ETC., to ANYONE - Individual, Family, Friends, Society, Employer, Employee, Customer, Supplier, Organization, Country, etc., etc. - in ANY MANNER"

Simply stated, CORRUPTION is 'ACTION SANS INTEGRITY'!

Anna Hazare said, on Aug. 28, 2011, to the effect:
"It is NOT ENOUGH if you wear-ANNA-cap. YOU must follow 'clean principles too'!"
I'm sure he referred to VICHAR (Thoughts/thinking), ACHAR (Actions/deeds), VYAVAHAR (Communication/Dealings)

'INTROSPECTION' is all about ASKING/TELLING ONESELF - with CONVICTION & CONFIDENCE & COURAGE - the following:

• I HAVE UNDERSTOOD the broader meaning of 'Corruption'
• I have the 'courage' to ask myself 'Am I Corrupt?'
• I am NOT Corrupt
• I say "NO" when someone tries to Corrupt me
• I WILL tell others "DO NOT be Corrupt" & DO NOT 'Corrupt'
• I WILL correct myself - IF I am 'Corrupt.'

Is there HOPE for Individuals in 'CORPORATE SECTOR' and so the 'CORPORATE SECTOR' to become CORRUPTION-FREE?

"CORRUPTION" has - unfortunately - come to be an EXPECTED/ACCEPTED FACT in the Government Departments, PSUs, Private Sectors, etc. There have been quite some responses giving hues/views - on "WHAT & WHICH" of CORRUPTION.

Now, HOW ABOUT 'inputs' on:

1) WHAT SOLUTIONS can be THOUGHT OF and HOW THEY ARE TO BE IMPLEMENTED in the Corporate Sectors, Government Departments?

2) WHAT CAN/SHOULD/WILL the PEOPLE - in the Corporate Sectors, Government Departments, the HR Consultants, and Trainers/Faculty - WHO 'EXCHANGE VIEWS' on "CiteHR" DO, to bring about a state of "NO-CORRUPTION" (both ways - 'give' and 'take') in the Corporate Sectors, Government Departments they work in or have 'dealings' with?

Responses to THIS please - as it MAY throw up SOLUTIONS instead of 'perpetuating the problem/situation'?

"Corruption" has, unfortunately, come to be an expected/accepted fact in Government Departments, PSUs, Private Sectors, etc. There have been quite some responses giving views on "WHAT & WHICH" aspects of corruption.

Solutions for Combating Corruption

Now, how about inputs on:

1. **What solutions can be thought of and how they are to be implemented in the Corporate Sectors and Government Departments?**

2. **What can/should/will the people in the Corporate Sectors, Government Departments, HR Consultants, and Trainers/Faculty—who exchange views on "CiteHR"—do to bring about a state of "NO-CORRUPTION" (both ways—'give' and 'take') in the Corporate Sectors and Government Departments they work in or have dealings with?**

Responses to this, please, as it may throw up solutions instead of perpetuating the problem/situation.

Hard to believe there are no responses to this! Is it too delicate to address views? Or, should corruption be nurtured/perpetuated?
