The dream of India as a strong nation will not be realised without self-reliant, self-sufficient villages, this can be achieved only through social commitment & involvement of the common man." |

Lokpal is a Sanskrit word which means protector. Lokapala refers to people with democratic view. The Lokpal Bill was trying to uproot since 1968 and was introduced in 1969, in order to fight corruption away from India. Later it was again drafted in 1971 which did not have any response from the govt. After few years in 1977 it was again passed but the bill was not recognised. Lokpal tried to take a stand in Lok Sabha in 1985, 1989, 1996,2001,2005,2008 all were a failure.
