Ethical and moral values (EMVs) like Probity, integrity, sincerity, responsiveness, transparency etc. are the quintessential for good governance. But degradation of these values can be witnessed in India evident from prevailing trends of corruption, scandals, scams etc. This impels us to assess the need of strengthening the EMVs in governance and measures applied to check the maladies in governance of our country. Despite these several measures, cases of corruption, dereliction of duties and lack of responsiveness and so on in governance could not be arrested at the desired level.
