Most of the people are corrupt by thoughts, and some are corrupt by deeds. It is most difficult to catch a person with a corrupt mind.

Even a product exorbitantly priced, compared to the manufacturing costs is also a form of corruption. The same product when purchased in small quantities is less priced and when purchased in bulk is more costly. Recently I was comparing some items such as Tooth Paste and Tea leaves. The companies are cheating the people, especially who purchase large quantities, which usually happens in supermarkets.

Once, I estimated the cost of repairing defunct 18 number of biogas plants in one village. The cost was less than the cost of commissioning one new biogas plant. Submitted the quotation with a list of components to be replaced and the service charges to the NEDCAP officer and requested them to get them repaired. The skilled labour refused to repair, as it was less remunerative for them than constructing a new biogas plant. The NEDCAP officer offered me to sanction new biogas plants instead of repairing the existing plants, the offer I rejected. There is a reason why things don’t work in the chain of facilitation process - the people in a system want to meet their minimum ‘interest’ - that is a form of corruption. In the facilitation of things which come under subsidies and grants, the technologies are more costly because the percentage of corrupt money value is higher for high-value products. Whereas, when people adopt things on demand and they are relatively cheap.
