CMS India Corruption Study 2012 focuses on urban slums. The cities selected reflect the overall trend in the reach and extent and nature of corruption that slum residents confront. Corruption is pervasive in India’s public sector and has deprived citizens, especially the poor and most vulnerable, of their rights and entitlements frequently across the country. For the sample household level survey across the country, CMS identified nine cities, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai, which are geographically spread across India and have high concentration of slums dwellers.
