Corruption needs to be treated like disease: President

NEW DELHI, Oct 13: Corruption affects the growth of a nation and needs to be treated like a disease, President Pranab Mukherje said. Corruption affects the growth of a nation, reduces the government's income and creates inequalities in distribution of income and wealth. It is a major factor hindering development. It is critical that awareness is generated and public opinion developed on the evils of corruption, he said in his message on vigilance awareness week to be observed across the country from October 26.

Mukherjee said corruption needs to be treated like a disease and focus should be on prevention. Vice President Hamid Ansari said preventive vigilance can ensure that acts of corruption do not take place.

Prime Minister NarendraModi, in his message, said the theme chosen by Central Vigilance Commission for this year's vigilance week "shall help highlight the importance of preventive vigilance in curbing administrative malpractices, and providing good governance".(Agencies)
