Transparency & Anti-Corruption Awareness

The main causes of corruption in government departments include complex administrative procedures, inadequate salaries, red tape, and lack of accountability. To address these issues, the government is promoting transparency through e-governance, strict laws such as the Prevention of Corruption Act, and awareness campaigns like the Vigilance Awareness Campaign.
