New Delhi: Amid the ongoing protests by civil society to enact effective Lokpal Bill, Chief Economic Advisor Kaushik Basu on Tuesday said the country needs to draw a professional blueprint to deal with corruption.
"I like civil society pressure because the pressure becomes a useful rallying point even for those within the government to do something. But blueprint (to combat) needs a lot of professionalism," he said while talking to reporters here at his last press conference as CEA. Basu's term ends today.
Total eradication of corruption, he said, was not possible but "vast decrease in level of corruption is possible and we have to work towards that".
