This eleventh (11th) round of annual CMS- India Corruption Study (referred as CMS-ICS 2017) covers more than 3000 households from over 200 rural and urban clusters of 20 states. This year’s CMS report is unique as it brings out the trend that deserve to be taken note further by the academics of the country on the aspect of corruption in public services. An added point of interest in this year’s report is that it comes at the midpoint of the Modi Sarkar’s first term in office.
