The author of this new initiative Dr Jacob Thomas was voted as the 'News Maker of 2015' by Kerala's leading news media and is a peck in the eyes of the UDF government by Team Oomman Chandy facing serious corruption allegations. As a result of his repeated disobedience to the government orders, he was transferred to different positions very often. There is also an allegation against him of receiving huge salary for his work rendered to some private institutions being in Government service..!!
Corruption (bribery) which has become an enormous giant is growing day-by day in India and it is an Himalayan task to eliminate it. However people are putting all their hopes on any person or effort who strives to control it and are very glad to extend every support. May such endeavours become successful and achieve the goals.
