What is Corruption?

• Corruption affects all regions of the world and
  all levels of society, but the impact is greatest
  in developing countries. Every year, developing
  countries lose USD 50 million to 100 million
  through corrupt acts (World Bank estimate, 2004).
• Corruption undermines political, social and
  economic stability and damages trust in
  institutions and authorities. It also fuels
  transnational crime. Terrorists and organized
  criminals are aided in their illegal activities
  by the complicity of corrupt public officials.
  Corruption is of particular concern for the
  worlds police and judicial systems, as
  corruption in one country can compromise an
  entire international investigation.

Why Janlokpal???

• In order to uproot corruption from India, and for
  her development, JANLOKPAL was introduced
• Though Lokpal bill existed before, it was not
  much in effect and the new JANLOKPAL, with many
  strict guidelines will help people of all classes
• For the well being of future and present
  generation, the new JANLOKPAL came into existence
• We must thank the leaders (especially, Anna
  Hazare) who were behind the success of JANLOKPAL

What is Jan Lokpal?

• Janlokpal bill is a proposed independent anti
  corruption law in India
• This bill is for the appointment of a Janlokpal,
  an independent body that would investigate
  corruption case within a year and send the guilty
  to jail
• It is drafted by Justice Santhosh Hedge,
  Prashanth Bhushan and Arvindh Kejriwal
• It gives the power to Janlokpal to prosecute
  higher authorities without govt permission, if
  found guilty
• India Against Corruption is a movement which
  involves many leaders and it says An expression

Anna Hazare

• Anna Hazare went on a fast unto death in April,
  demanding for the bill. After 4 days of fast,
  govt set up a committee to draft the bill, but
  didnt agree the fundamental elements. So, he
  started his fast again on Aug 16th. Large number
  of people were there to support him and finally
  govt agreed to him on Aug 27th.
