HORIZONS

Increased outlays for NREGP will increase corruption

And what hope have they given us over the last 60 years or so that they just might stop looting the Indian exchequer in the name of the poor? And how many court decisions have you heard of, in the last 60 years or so where top bureaucrats, businessmen & politicians have been sentenced to spend days behind bars for corruption? So saying and hoping that tweaking the current system of delivery will ensure that the Rs.60,000 crores, going to be spent every year on NREGP will not be siphoned away by the criminally corrupt, is naive at best; and insidiously dangerous at worst. For corruption will not go away and more and more frustrated rural poor will give up on the system and join the Naxalite movement.

After 60 or so years, India has managed to be host to more than 400 million illiterate citizens. Tweaking the system hasn’t been of help.
