Rajasthan

One of India's most famous tourist destinations, Rajasthan's economy is most dependent on agriculture and mining. The state is in the 'Very Highly Corrupt' category.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje will have to fight tooth and nail to curb the menace of rising corruption.

Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is also a highly industrialised Indian state. It also has a vibrant services sector.

The fact that the state is categorized as being 'Very Highly Corrupt' is quite surprising as Tamil Nadu is also one of India's most literate state, bursting with great talent across all sectors of human activity. Its per capita income too is higher than the national average.

It is also among the highest recipients of foreign direct investment in India. M Karunanidhi is the state chief minister.

Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh is one of India's fastest growing states. Mineral rich and bursting with great agricultural potential, the state has been a victim of long-time neglect.

Chief Minister Raman Singh now has his task cut out for himself with the state being categorized as 'Highly Corrupt.'

The state is now giving special attention to education and breeding talent, and also has big plans to be biofuel self-sufficient by 2015 by planting crops of jatropha (source: Wikipedia).

Delhi

India's capital Delhi is one of India's richest states with its per capita income more than twice the national average. The state is the seat of the Indian government and, perhaps, that makes it vulnerable to corruption as industrialists and common folk alike throng the corridors of power to get their 'work done.'

It is the nation's second financial capital after Mumbai. The state is highly industrialised and also has a booming services sector.

According to Transparency International India, Delhi is 'Highly Corrupt.'

Sheila Dikshit is the chief minister of Delhi.

Gujarat

Gujarat is one of the most industrialised and among the richest states in India. India Inc has a big presence here. Some huge projects like the Reliance Industries' massive refinery are housed here. It also has a rich and flourishing agricultural sector, and is also blessed with rich mineral ore.

Yet corruption in the state is quite high and it is in the 'Highly Corrupt' category. Something for Chief Minister Narendra Modi to think and do something about.
