You are working as an Executive Engineer in the
construction cell of the Municipal Corporation and are
presently in-charge of the construction of a flyover. There
are two Junior Engineers under you who have the
responsibility of day-to-day inspection of the site and
reporting to you, while you are finally reporting to the
Chief Engineer who heads the cell. While the construction
is heading towards completion, the Junior Engineers have
been regularly reporting that all construction is taking place
as per design specifications. However, in one of your
surprise inspections, you have noticed some serious
deviations and lacunae which, in your opinion, are likely
to affect to safety to the flyover. Rectification of these
lacunae at this stage would require a substantial amount
of demolition and rework which will cause a tangible loss
to the contractor and will also delay completion. There is
a lot of public pressure on the Corporation to get this
construction completed because of heavy traffic congestion
in the area. When you brought this matter to the notice of
the Chief Engineer, he advised you that in his opinion it is
not a very serious lapse and may be ignored. He advised
for further expediting the project for completion in time.
However, you are convinced that this was a serious matter

Suppose one of your close friends, who is also aspiring
for civil services, comes to you for discussing some of the
issues related to ethical conduct in public service. He raises
the following points :
(i) In the present times, when unethical environment is
quite prevalent, individual attempts to stick to ethical
principles may cause a lot of problems in ones career.
It may also cause hardship to the family members as
well as risk to ones life. Why should we not be
pragmatic and follow the path of least resistance, and
be happy with doing whatever good we can?
(ii) When so many people are adopting wrong means and
are grossly harming the system, what difference would
it make if only a small minority tries to be ethical?
They are going to be rather ineffective and are bound
to get frustrated.
(iii)If we become fussy about ethical considerations, will
it not hamper the economic progress of our country?
After all, in the present age of high competition, we
cannot afford to be left behind in the race of
development.
(iv) It is understandable that we should not get involved in
grossly unethical practices, but giving and accepting
small gratifications and doing small favours increases
everybodys motivation. It also makes the system more
efficient. What is wrong in adopting such practices?

Rameshwar successfully cleared the prestigious civil
services examination and was excited about the opportunity
that he would get through the civil services to serve the
country. However, soon after joining the services, he
realized that things are not as rosy as he had imagined.
He found a number of malpractices prevailing in the
department assigned to him. For example, funds under
various schemes and grants were being misappropriated.
The official facilities were frequently being used for
personal needs by the officers and staff. After some time,
he noticed that the process of recruiting the staff was also
not up to the mark. Prospective candidates were required
to write an examination in which a lot of cheating was
going on. Some candidates were provided external help in
the examination. Rameshwar brought these incidents to
the notice of his seniors. However, he was advised to keep
his eyes, ears and mouth shut and ignore all these things
which were taking place with the connivance of the higher-
ups. Rameshwar felt highly disillusioned and
uncomfortable. He comes to you seeking your advice.
Indicate various options that you think are available in
this situation. How would you help him to evaluate these
options and choose the most appropriate path to be
adopted? (250 Words) 20

out of compassion, you take out your wallet to search for
a ten Rupees note. The girl who is standing very near to

Every District Collector wants the local newspapers to run
positive stories about his works in his district. Few,
thankfully, hide behind a fake name to write only positive
articles.
Aman, DM of a famous district, felt the major local paper,
was not writing enough positive articles about him, so he
decided to submit his own stories, under a fake name.
The paper encourages "citizen journalists" to submit stories
to get a more local angle. "I thought about all the people
just reading about crime in our city and nothing better,"
said the DM.
Although he was not paid for his articles, he established a
relationship with the paper, a television Website, and a
weekly paper - all by using e-mail and phone conversations.
Using his alias, he wrote more than a dozen articles. In
some he quoted himself. He did not apologize for his
actions.
However his alias was a real person. DM had used the
real photo to convince the publishers. Now the real person
is hurt and enraged. He accuses DM of lying to the public.
(a) Do you think DM should resign?
(b) Should the government take any action, such as a
censure?
(c) Is this action serious enough to prompt a recall?
(d) Can the public trust an official who has misrepresented
himself? (100 words each) 4x10=40

B. Anand is running an NGO to help street children. He
receives government grant of Rs.2 lakh for a project to
teach the 'out of school' children, who work at tea-stalls,
do boot-polishing etc. A year passes, but Anand managed
to utilize only 50,000 rupees from the grant. Despite his
best efforts, he couldn't convince many poor children or
their families to join his NGO's program.
Mains GS Question Bank 201
As per the grant rules, Anand has to return all the unspent
money back to government by the end of March 31st. But
his colleague Pran suggests following:
1. If we honestly return Rs.1.5 lakh back, then
government officials will think we are amateur,
ineffective NGO and they'll substantially reduce our
grant for next year or even worse- they'll not give us
any project next time.
2. We should take help of CA Prem Chopra to manipulate
our account books and show majority of the grant was
utilized for education.
3. Many other NGOs do the same thing-there is no
problem- nobody will raise any objection, as long as
we give 20% of the grant to SDM in charge of this
project.
4. Although it sounds unethical but we won't use this
money for personal needs, we'll use it on street children
only. Hence our act is fully ethical and moral.
What should Anand do with the money?

Prem Chopra runs a company that offers private security
guards, CCTV, burglary alarm and other security devices.
DCP Devanand learns that everytime after a theft or
robbery takes place, Police Inspector Pran advices the
victim and bystanders to install security devices from Prem
Chopra's company to make their home and shops secure
from criminals. Pran even tells them, "When you go to
Prem Chopra's office, tell him I've sent you, he'll give you
special discount." Dev confronts Pran about this matter.
Pran justifies his action by saying:
1. Yes, I take money for Prem Chopra to endorse his
security products for homes and offices.
2. No, I'm not doing anything unethical because
a. I use this money to pay my informers and keep a
check on criminal elements. I don't spent this
money on myself or my family.
b. Even municipal buses and railway-wagons have
advertisements, then why is an endorsement by a
city official unethical or illegal?

DCP Anand marries Sub inspector Rosie. In the office,
Rosie doesn't directly report to Anand but Anand has
responsibility for signing off on her annual evaluation.
Although Anand doesn't give any preferential treatment
to Rosie but one of her colleague, Prem Chopra, com-
plained several times to the DIG Pran: "Anand saab always
gives highest ratings to his wife and I'm always given
average ratings despite my best performance in criminal
investigations." DIG conducts inquiry, doesn't find
anything against Anand. Later Anand officially reprimands
Prem Chopra for this unprofessional behavior.
Frustrated Prem Chopra narrates this incident to his wife
Bindu. Bindu decides to take matters in her own hands,
writes an anonymous e-mail to the local press, informing
how Rosie hasn't legally divorced her first husband Marco,
yet she is staying with DCP Anand and gives vivid details
of their 'adulterous' live-in relationship.

Saurabh Agarwal is the environmental compliance
manager for a small plastics manufacturing company. He
is currently faced with a dilemma on whether or not to
spend money on a new technology that will reduce the
level of a particular toxin in the wastewater that flows out
from the back of the factory into a lake. The factorys
emission levels are already within legal limits. However,

newspaper recently, saying that if emission levels stayed
at this level, the fish in the lake and rivers in the area might
