FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES AND CONCLUSIONS

Public Affairs Foundation, Bangalore Almost all public agencies have achieved noticeable improvement in many aspects of their services over the period of the three CRCs. More citizen friendly reforms seem to be at work, judging by the positive changes in staff behaviour and reduction in problem incidence. Reduced problem incidence may have limited the scope for corruption. Service improvements can be an effective route to corruption control that affects ordinary citizens. CONCLUSIONS

Public Affairs Foundation, Bangalore Introduction of IT in routine transactions (billing,information dissemination) and streamlining of services seem to have brought down problem incidence and scope for corruption. This is not to deny that collusive corruption exists in these agencies. Our method cannot effectively probe or monitor these pockets of corruption. Though the standards and expectations of people may vary, they can, by and large, be consistent in their assessments of the services they receive. CONCLUSIONS
