New Delhi: Prime Minister NarendraModihas deplored   institutionalisation of corruption in the system of the country.

Modisaid the government has already ended the systems of interviews for group III and IV employees in the government, ending the role of middlemen, who used to promise jobs for money. 

"It is unfortunate that corruption has become institutionalised. Till you make a counter institutional arrangement, you cannot stop it," Modi said at the event organised by NitiAayog. 

He said as the middlemen are out of work now, they are the ones who are shouting the most about unemployment. 

"Change will be powered by each and every citizen of India," he stressed. 

He said the different groups of entrepreneurs, which were set up to suggest policy initiatives, could be attached with the relevant ministries on a permanent basis. 

The Prime Minister said his government has taken numerous measures, like introducing self-attestations of certificates and doing away with interviews for lower posts, to ease life of the common man. 
Referring to the Padma awards, Modi said that in past the prestigious awards were given on ministers' recommendation, but the government has now made it open to anyone for nomination.

"Remember how Padma Awards were given earlier? We brought in a 'small' change - people can recommend names for awards, unlike the past," he said.

Stressing that the government wants to work together with all citizens towards a New India, Modi said,“Every one of us is equally patriotic and wants India to scale new heights of progress. There is no difference in our love for the nation".
