Many of the problems will get resolved once the government will implement the ease of doing business. Running legal business also one of challenge, it is much more time consuming for various permissions, adds unwanted cost to the set up, some permissions requires bribe in huge amount. This should be sorted first that will help to resolve some of the above mentioned issues. more

As long as people have greed for money without any effort, corruption will prevail. All those people who are in position to make money should ask their conscience that what am I doing is fair. Reply from conscience will be No. Most of the people overrule the voice of conscience. more

Make laws simple without adding clauses to it.. It must be in black and white to understand, so that the person who bribes is also criminally liable for prosecution Make laws that are realistic and with changing times, else the officials throw thousand of clauses at you forcing you to bribe make the laws of the respective department visible in the office make the applicant tick off a check list and then submit (checklist should not be another way for officials to harass) more
