Discussing the present crisis of ethics in Indian Public Administration, the author focusses on bureaucratic corruption (he attempts to classify such elements to facilitate proper comprehension) and follows it up with the choices available to remedy the situation. Lack of transparency being one of the important causative factors, he elaborates on two recent significant people-sponsored campaigns for transparency in administration (he also gives the contents of the present Draft Bill on Right to Information), and another significant initiative of introducing systemic change from within, as evidenced in the effort of IAS officers Association of Uttar Pradesh to identify and expose the three most corrupt among them.
