Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Focusing on integrity and ethics aspects, as reflected from the pattern of IAS's recruitment and training, the authors, with relevant supportive evidence from primary source (interviews of some Karnataka cadre officers) and secondary sources, examine two inter-related questions as to whether or not the existing system of: (1) recruitment is conducive to joing of competent hands with moral virtues, and (2) pre-entry training practices sensitise and orient them to ethical behaviour. Exploring new vistas in public service ethics in a developing country like India, they discover a relatively greater emphasis on external controls (like ethical laws, codes, and machinery like anti-corruption) to ensure ethics among IAS personnel. They also refer to arrangement of training of ethics in USA to impart a brief comparative dimension to the discussion before arriving at conclusions and policy implications of their findings. - Reproduced
