Eradicate corruption
This refers to the menace of corruption which has assumed alarming proportions and has emerged as the biggest problem faced by our state. It is a grave concern and certainly demands immediate attention not only from the law makers and the government but also from each one of us. The cancer of corruption has eaten into the vitals of our society and the moral standards of the people have degenerated gradually with time. People have accepted it as integral part of their lives and have learnt to live with it.They agree that if they do not pay bribe their works will get delayed for no fault of theirs and even if they complain, not much will happen as corrupt officials get full support and protection from senior officials and politicians.
