This subject book from Springboard Academy is an English medium (English language) volume on Administrative Ethics, written by Vijay Singh Shekhawat as part of the RAS Foundation series, for candidates appearing in the RAS examination conducted by RPSC. Ethics is a paper where marks are lost not for lack of information but for lack of a framework — answers drift into opinion when a candidate has no structure to hang the argument on. The book is built to supply that structure: each concept comes with a definition, the thinkers associated with it, and an applied example that can be carried into an answer. Coverage includes integrity, honesty, duty of duty and accountability; attitude, aptitude and emotional intelligence; ethics in public administration and civil service values; corruption, good governance, transparency and accountability mechanisms; and the ethical thinkers the paper draws on — Immanuel Kant, Aristotle and Plato, alongside Indian and Western philosophical traditions. Case studies are included to translate theory into answer-writing practice.
