Friends,
Message from Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative is placed below and paper is at http://www.humanrightsinitiative.org/publications/police/cvc_cbi_some_developments_a_brief_history.pdf.
Please peruse it and post your comments; I will consolidate them. This is a matter of immense public importance as these instrumentalities have not been effective in curbing corruption.

The country has witnessed enormous increase in the incidence of corruption
in recent times, with one major scam after another tumbling out of different
cupboards. The government of the day has cut a somewhat sorry figure,
both inside as well as outside Parliament, in dealing with the menace.
It remained inactive for long and when it did take action, it was rather
too little, besides being too late.
Lack of will by the government in dealing with the problem effectively is not
of recent origin. The government has never shown the keenness to strengthen
and invigorate the anti corruption machinery that exists in the form of laws
and institutions.
The two most important anti corruption agencies that exist at the central level
are the Central Vigilance Commission and the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The CHRI considered it necessary to study the way these agencies have grown,
the problems they faced and more importantly the type of steps taken by the
government to ensure that they develop to deal with the problem of corruption
impartially and effectively.
A working paper focusing on the growth of these two central agencies has
been prepared. The paper written by Shri G. P. Joshi discusses some important
issues relating to the working of the CVC and CBI.
The CHRI has pleasure in sending you this paper in the context of the current
debate on the subject of corruption that is taking place in the country.
Any comments that you may like to make on any point raised in this paper
would be highly welcome.
