kept up by the civil servants. It constitute the moral fiber of civil servants.
It regulate the conduct and behaviour of different categories of civil servants.
In the context of the growing size and role of administration and its impact on
the society, the civil servants are expected to set-up high moral standards not
only for themselves but also for the community at large.
In the words of GlanStahl ‘Problem of ethical conduct of public official arises
by virtue of the power and influence that he commands and the commitment that he
undertakes of loyal and disinterested service to the public’
India has not developed any ethical code for public administrators, here we have
, the government servant conduct rules. It lay down what constitutes misconduct
for the public servant. Such misconduct, which is not permitted, is also
unethical conduct. Keeping in view the growing role of administration in
preserving and promoting public interest, the issue of administrative ethics by
the civil servants has gained vast significance.
