The high potential of the domestic market which is driven by Indian’s emerging middle class, cost competitiveness and its large talent pool continue to make our country one of the most preferred destination for investors and businessmen. Despite the such as the United States, India remained stable. In fact, it registered growth in the foreign direct investment (FED)I .

L Now the question that arises is that, in spite of India being economically sound why re we still in a state of poverty?
Why majority of our population still dowels in slum area? Why each day lots of children die out of hunger/ starvation? The most probable answer to these questions are the rooted instances of corruption and bribery in our system.
