Public administration in India, as a cornerstone of governance, is profoundly influenced by public values that serve as ethical benchmarks for decision-making and action. This research paper explores the critical role of public values in building ethical foundations within public administration in India. It examines the philosophical roots, constitutional mandates, and contemporary practices that underscore the importance of public values such as integrity, accountability, transparency, and inclusivity. Through a blend of theoretical frameworks, case studies, and empirical insights, this study identifies challenges in institutionalizing public values and offers strategic recommendations for strengthening ethical governance. The findings highlight the interplay between cultural heritage and modern democratic principles, emphasizing the need for continuous reinforcement of public values to sustain a resilient and equitable administrative system.- Reproduced
