Current Issues in India

• Corruption• Poverty• Education• Inflation• Other Social and Economic Issues

CORRUPTION

Scale of Corruption

• In 2006, the most recent Global Financial Integrity study, shows that the average amount stashed away from India annually during 2002-06 is $27.3 billion (about 136,466 crore). It means that during the five-year period the amount stashed away is 27.3x5=136.5 billion (about 692,328 crore). 

• So the estimation that the Indian money stashed away may be of the order of $4.9 trillion (about Rs 250 lakh crore).

• This amount is about 4 times more than India’s current Economy i.e. $1.3 trillion.

Scale of Corruption....

Let’s understand how much money is $1.4 trillion.......

• If we assume India’s total population below poverty line is 1 crore (which is 85 lakhs actually), every person BPL gets Rs 2.5 lakhs.

• If we keep this money with World Bank, we can generate money which is more than the total money what India gets from all types of taxes. Therefore we can declare India as tax free country. Hence NO BLACK MONEY

• In case of no tax, petrol will be Rs 4 or 5 per liter

Potential Solutions....

• Change the System• Change the Govt.• Spread the awareness• Encourage youth to actively participate in politics and DO

NOT BE cynical about it.• Support the Movements already been started in India on a

large scale.
