The figures that have come out after the research show that India has moved up on the index of Corruption in the year 2010, despite there being a transparency ensuring Act- Right to Information Act, 2005.
In the Transparency International's annual survey India slipped from 84th position to 87th in the corruption index. The corruption is measured on a scale of 0-10, where zero means highly corrupt where as 10 means lesser corruption. India scored 3.3 on the corruption perception index. The cause for concern is that India has become more corrupt than last year, despite the RTI Act, whose main aim is to bring transparency and accountability and in turn check corruption.
