Whistleblowers- How To Protect Them!!

With the consent of the required number of State governments, Parliament should try to enact a single Act for all employees working in any tier of government (including employees of any instrumentality of government whether autonomous or semi-autonomous), and also for employees working in any form of organisation in the private and voluntary sectors.

Employees of contractors, sub-contractors and agents of an organisation; applicants for employment, former employees and overseas employees; attorneys and auditors should also be covered.

India is devloping country. We cannot control corruption due to the following reasons. Unrealistic price increase in real estate & cost of living. unrealistic difference in salary matrix between IT,skilled , semi-skilled & non skilled jobs in India. Everybody try to adopt the life style of IT & other skilled job professional.Money can play at any level in Cental & state government to get the details of whistle blowers and the corruption happening mostly in central & start government offices.so it is better to send letters & proofs without indentity to respective autorities and to media parallelly. Government & police cannot give protection to whistle blowers & their family till their life time once their name exposed.

Rather than reaching out to colleagues of the corrupt with information a separate mechanism under President's office with assistance of Supreme court should be created.  Allow transparency and independence to thus created setup and let it function with full independence. Any further probes must be incognito directed from this body and privacy, care and security of whistle-blower as also recommendations for award  happening from same source.

Such persons are the real assets and ought be honored by the nation. 

The whistleblower must reasonably believe that his information about a malpractice is substantially true, and must act in good faith. Those caught making anonymous or pseudonymous leaks should not be protected. The period of limitation for filing a complaint must be sufficiently long (say, 1 year).

• Collecting data.

• Writing coherent accounts

• Understanding organisational dynamics

.• Building suppor

• Using the medi

• Self-understanding

Reading about whistleblowers can be depressing: their experiences are traumatic, the way they are treated is grossly unfair and their success rate in leading to reform in organisations is extremely low. It is an additional source of disillusionment to find that official bodies - despite the good intentions of most of those who work in them - are so seldom helpful. But there are a few signs of hope.

As we all know, Whistleblowers are very small in number. 

Considering such a small number, miscrent and persons likely to be affected by Whistleblowers find it convenient to eliminate or cause harm to stop them.

If number of Whistleblowers is increased to substantial numbers, their elimination may not be proved beneficial.
