| Summary, etc |
This article explores the defining trilogy of civil service ethos—anonymity, ability, and austerity—as guiding principles for governance and administrative conduct. It examines how anonymity safeguards impartiality, ability ensures competence in policy implementation, and austerity reflects ethical restraint and accountability in public service. By situating these values within the broader framework of bureaucratic culture and governance studies, the paper highlights their enduring relevance in shaping the identity and responsibilities of civil servants. The study underscores the importance of balancing efficiency, integrity, and humility in administrative practice, offering insights into the evolving role of civil service in democratic governance. Anonymity, ability and austerity are three essential qualities for a civil servant. An attempt is made to discuss practical aspects and interrelationships of the three qualities in light of the wisdom of Gita and Mahatma Gandhi. These qualities earn holistic happiness and self-satisfaction in personal domain whereas they pave way for a citizen centric public service. This trilogy can be viewed as homage by young civil servants in the august task of taking India forward in the Amrikal of India’s Independence. – Reproduced |
