Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude: Foundational Values for Civil Service in India by P. D. Sharma provides a comprehensive exploration of the ethical and moral foundations essential for public administration in a diverse and modernizing democracy like India. This thoroughly revised and updated edition examines the aptitudes of civil servants, foundational values of public service, and issues of probity in governance with a strong emphasis on practical applicability.

The book delves into moral philosophy, civil service values, and the role of neurology and emotional intelligence in shaping ethical behavior. It addresses the challenges of declining moral standards, rising corruption, and the growing need for accountability and transparency in governance. Key updates include:

• A rewritten chapter on Moral Philosophies and Philosophers, presenting diverse ethical frameworks

• A new chapter on Corporate Social Responsibility and Global Transparency, highlighting the social responsibilities of businesses and ethical practices in global politics

• A comprehensive section on Indian case studies that bridges theory with real-life application

Designed to stimulate thought and debate, the book encourages civil service aspirants and professionals to develop problem-solving approaches and the right attitudinal disposition to handle ethical dilemmas in governance and administration. It is an invaluable resource for students of public administration, political science, and those preparing for civil services and competitive examinations.
