Recently I came to know about the Zero Rupee note which is used nationwide as an effective currency to eradicate corruption. This initiative was taken by a non profit, non governmental organization called 5th Pillar which is aimed at fighting corruption. The 5th Pillar website has the details about the organization and its goals along with the details about RTI Act (Right To Information) and how to use it. 5th Pillar has many success stories and also maintains a list of government officials who have been arrested for taking bribe. I was not aware of the Zero rupee note till I met one of its member in a friend's marriage. He briefed us about the usage of the zero rupee note in govenment offices to get things done without any delay or need to pay bribe to the officers. This is a good initiative to fight against corruption. Whether it actually kills corruption is something which we need to wait n watch, but the initiative is appreciable.
