Topic: Corruption is the root cause for the slowdown in Indian Economy"
Moderator - Good morning friends. The topic for today's Group Discussion is 'Corruption is the root cause for the slowdown in Indian Economy'.
--One minute pause---
Abhi- (Taking the lead) - Good Morning - I am Abhi. In my view the topic has two parts - The rampant corruption in India and Its adverse impact on growth of economy. While agreeing to the topic I wish to place a few facts before all of you that transparency International in its study on index of corrupt countries in 2012 placed India at 94th rank out of 176 countries while Somalia tops the list.
Aman -Although it is a fact that corruption should be curbed, at times it speeds up the processes also. People find it difficult to get their jobs done in the countries where no corruption exists. It takes many days to get the Visa to many countries and years to get the green card in USA.
Parineeta - I do not agree with this point. Instead of curing a disease you are trying to justify it.
Aman - I have never said that and do not make...
Parineeta -You meant this.
Ashutosh - This is GD and I am expressing my ideas.
Parineeta -I understand that India needs to curb corruption to have a better chart of economic growth. Example of China and Japan can't be overlooked. These countries have also suffered a lot and probably more than that.
Aman- Well, might be but the history of corruption in India is not new. Even during the regime of East India Company in 17th Century it was a serious issue. The economy has been running infected since then.
Manav- Let us take a balanced approach to get rid of corruption. The fight against corruption to accelerate the growth has time and again been taken up by eminent social workers, activists like Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal, NGOs etc.
Anuj- Mineral resources are the back bone to the prosperity of the country. The corrupt Ministers and government officials go for awarding illegal mining of such rich resources. They illegally help transport the minerals like coal, iron ore, bauxite, copper, etc. to other places for their personal benefits.
Moderator - Thank you friends, time is over now. Please stop the discussion.
GD participants' Analysis:
1. Abhi- He started the discussion understanding and splitting the topic with clear views placed in a coherent manner with supporting facts. He made two entries and his speech attracted the attention of all. He emerges as an obvious leader.
2. Aman- Appears to be a bully and also is trying to justify the tools of corruption. May have difference of opinion but is unable to make valid points. He is not a good choice for selectors.
3. Parineeta - Initially she appeared to be more interfering than contributing. But later she made valid points interlinking the growth to corruption. Better than Aman.
4. Anuj - A skillful candidate, knows how to grab the opportunity. Made valid points. Might prove to be a good choice.
7. Manav- Have knowledge but speaks beside the point. Didn't understand the topic, instead discussed the ways and means on corruption. Not a good choice.
If the choice is to be made from among these candidates - Abhi and Anuj could be the right choice.
