Amazing Progress Being Made in the Transform India circle
Friends,
I have been member of the Transform India with Narendra Modi circle. I still support Arvind Kejriwal for Delhi but the kind of progress this circle is making is something. It has close to 52,000 members.
The recent activity conducted was Root Causing of Corruption issues in India and the findings were just posted by the circle founder. Now they are working on Solutions.
So, the ones among you who are passionate about Corruption as a subject, must join.

I read this article many times past few days. Though it is called Summary of Root Causes of Corruption, the article is very long. Every aspect somehow connected and nurturing each other to another level. I tried hard to figure what is the circumcenter. The very first line "1) Lack of Moral Value education" : I realize we are not heading anywhere. What kind of education or at what level of education do we lack it? Dear all, I do not know any grade or class where any course or curriculum, any text or story teaches wrong about moral value. At almost every stage we study, moral values are injected via different stories. Teachers, Leaders, Politicians or any guardian inject enough good words about moral value. We do not lack that. What we lack is our own will power to stand against our own evil and weakness. At any stage, people neither stand themselves, nor support someone to stand against corruption. Good article indeed showing that we know, corruption is at every step now. India needed a will to support few who stood against corruption. But we failed. The nation failed. Now we all have to pay the price. Even the generations to come will blame us for not being brave enough to build a corruption free nation when we had a chance. The change must begin from our own home. Our own spirit. Start saying "NO" to corruption. more

Shikhaji the root cause of corruption is the lack of political will to take steps in uprooting the seed , what the 50000 are talking is merely pruning the leaves Modiji will happily do that and highlight through media in its fifth year . The seed lies in funding of these political parties it remains to be seen if all the political parties allow public audits of their funds more

Dear Shikha ji The utmost priority to immune from corruption for any administrative/managing/ruling mechanism is Good & healthy knowledge for every one up to 12th standard .so far none of the government had/has did on this. No of Government schools to built and developed at international level where each class of community will study without discrimination. Only then you talk and discuss on eradication of corruption. As of today Government machinery has almost crushed the govt schools and private schools are business minded. What ever our children is getting achieved that is by default . None of private school is having credibility up to 12th standard. They are just issuing a certificate and did not imparting knowledge Because they are not paying full salaries to the teachers but claiming Add from Government. Rest you can understand . thanks s k mishra On Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:58:31 +0530 wrote > more
