Introduction: A Fearless Stand Against Corruption
Corruption remains one of the biggest obstacles to India’s social, economic, and moral progress. It affects governance, weakens public trust, and creates daily hardships for common citizens. In the midst of these challenges, the Anti Corruption Committee, also known as Bhrastachar Nirmulan Samiti, stands as a powerful symbol of courage, integrity, and public service.
Established with a clear vision and fearless intent, the committee has grown into India’s largest NGO dedicated to fighting corruption and crime. For over 27 years, it has represented public grievances nationwide—without government funding, without remuneration, and without compromise.
Who We Are: A People’s Movement
The Anti Corruption Committee operates as a citizen-driven organization, committed to protecting public interest and ensuring accountability in governance. Unlike many institutions, the committee does not rely on government grants or financial incentives. Its strength comes from the people—millions of citizens who believe that corruption can be challenged through unity and lawful action.
The committee represents public matters before authorities, helping citizens raise genuine complaints and ensuring they are heard at the right level. Every action is guided by the principle of transparency, justice, and national interest.
Our Motto: “Dare or Die”
At the heart of the organization lies its powerful motto: “Dare or Die.”
This phrase is more than a slogan—it is a philosophy.
Corruption thrives where fear and silence exist. The Anti Corruption Committee believes that to eliminate corruption, citizens must dare to speak up, dare to stand together, and dare to fight injustice with strong willpower. This belief has shaped every initiative, movement, and decision taken by the organization over the past two decades.
Founder’s Vision: Leadership Rooted in Courage
The driving force behind the Anti Corruption Committee is its Founder and National President, Shri. Rabindra Dwivedi (Netaji). With 27 years of experience in fighting corruption and crime, he has dedicated his life to public service and justice.
Shri. Dwivediji strongly believes that corruption is a stubborn stain that affects not only the nation’s growth but also the everyday lives of ordinary people. According to him, corruption can only be defeated when citizens come together with courage and determination.
His guiding belief is simple yet powerful:
“Daring together will help to curb corruption and ensure better, safer lives.”
Under his leadership, the committee has grown from a small initiative into a nationwide movement.
