India's most and least corrupt states

September 5, 2008

Jammu & Kashmir

J&K is also in the 'Alarmingly Corrupt' category.

The strife-torn Indian state has been a constant battleground between Indian security forces and terrorists.

Terror strikes have reduced the once-booming tourism trade in the state to nothing but a distant memory.

Corruption is thus rife in this state, currently under President's Rule.

About the survey

The survey found that the police department in all these states tops the corruption chart, followed by others -- including the forest department, land records/registration and housing.

Electricity, banking, education, water supply and the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme fell under the other corrupt services.
