India has been ranked 79th out of 176 countries in Transparency International's 2016 corruption perception index (CPI).India is the largest democracy in the world, it continues to struggle on a daily basis to fight corruption in every field at both the national and local levels. Endemic and deep rooted corruption is a major factor for most social and political ills.
