17 th Mary Clubwala Jadav Endowment lecture: “Ending Corruption ....... How to clean up India?”

Abstract

I feel honoured to have been called upon o delver this Year's Mary Clubwala Jadav endowment lecture. Mary Clubwala Jadav was much splendored personality who is an eternal source of inspiration for generations of people, particularly women. She was a trailblazer in many areas and her contribution t the society lives through many institutions. The Madras School of Social work is just one of them. In the context of the life time work of Many Clubwala Jadav, the most
appropriate theme for this year, I thought would be the problem of corruption. It seems to have become a grave disease of our entire society. The dramatic effect of this disease is that our country is suffering a problem of multiple organ failure when it comes to good governance.
