One of the foundational value of public service is ‘Selfless Service’. But life is not so black and white. There are grey areas that pushes to compromise with situation to survive. In this context critically analyze and illustrate whether a civil servant can serve ‘selflessly’. (15 Marks)

“Selflessness” is characterized by low levels of self-centeredness and a low degree of importance given to the self. Holders of public office should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. 

  • They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their families or their friends.
  • Selfish motivation often discourages public servants from taking initiative and helping others unless these activities are directly rewarded, which can be detrimental to their long-term performance, reputations, and careers.
  • But many times a civil servants want to perform his duty selflessly but fail to do so due to external obstacles.
  • The external obstacles can be political interference, non-cooperation from the seniors and colleagues, rigid institutional structure, etc.

People do not have much control over their external factors but he can maintain integrity and probity at the individual level and can take steps for the betterment of the organization rather than surrendering to the situation and working against one’s conscience.
