International Anti-Corruption Day

International Anti-Corruption Day is observed annually on December 9 to raise awareness about corruption and its effects globally. In India, corruption remains a significant challenge, affecting public and private sectors. Key efforts to combat corruption include legal frameworks such as the RTI Act, GST, and Prevention of Corruption Act amendments. Digital initiatives, anti-corruption agencies, and strategies like the National Anti-Corruption Strategy focus on enhancing transparency, accountability, and public awareness. Despite progress, challenges like systemic resistance and political interference persist. The day reinforces the importance of collective action in building a corruption-free society.
