To eradicate corrupt practices from the system & improve living

SUBJECT: A heaven on the earth in the absence of corruption.
MESSAGE:
In today's fast growing world the issue of corruption has not been properly addressed due to this reason many developing countries have remained socio-economically poorest of the poor there for the basic socio-economic needs are yet to be made available to the people.

Unless & until the political heads of all the countries focus & concentrate on this social menace the corrupt practices will not vanish from this earth. As the need of the hour is to understand, design & implement the practices, which can lead to annihilate the demon called corruption.

In nutshell to view & implement these practices in larger perspective your feedback is of more importance so as to enable me to set the guiding principle to set the ball on rolling to eradicate corruption.

In the present context India, it seems, will remain a poor country.
