A optimal model for office working have to be engineered by the Govt and that should be implemented in All govt offices withing a stipulated time frame. All govt employees have reasonably good salaries(except Police Dept, that too at constable level only) So a lot of counseling session should be arranged so that these employees go away from the culture of seeking bribes more
