According to the latest report by International NGO Transparency International, the image of India's government sector is still worse in the eyes of the world on corruption. By the way there are signs of improvement in the situation compared to 2015. In the latest report of the institution, the Global Corruption Index-2011, India has been placed at 81st position, while India was ranked 79th last year's report.

This index, which started in 1995 with the aim of giving a strong message to governments against corruption, has been evaluated in the case of 180 countries. This index is said to be based on the estimation and experience of analysts, traders and experts. It also uses similar criteria like work independence for journalists, activists and opposition leaders.

To prepare the index, the countries are given points ranging from 0 to 100 points on different criteria. The lowest point is considered to be the most corrupted. IIn this list, 40 points have been given to India, which is equivalent to last year, but after 2015 the situation has improved. When India was given 38 points.

Transparency International said, "In some countries in the Asia-Pacific region, threats are given to journalists, activists, opposition leaders and even law enforcement and regulatory agencies. Somewhere the situation is so bad that they are murdered.''

In the report, citing the Committee on Protex Journalists, it has been said that in 6 years, 15 journalists have been killed in these countries, who were working against corruption. In this case, India has been compared to countries like the Philippine and Maldives, and it has been said that in this case these countries are very bad in their area. In the case of corruption, the number of these countries is high and among them the freedom of the press is relatively low and the murders of journalists have also increased here.

New Zealand and Denmark are at the top with 89 and 88 points in this list. On the other hand, Syria, Sudan and Somalia are at the bottom with 14, 12 and 9 points respectively. In this list, China ranked 77th and Brazil 96th and Russia ranked 135th.
