“We behold what we are, and we are what we behold.” The depth of inner governance determines the quality of outer governance. There exists an inextricable link between one’s moral standards, ethical reasoning and one’s general conduct. Thus, an administrative setup that comprises virtuous leaders, critical thinkers and righteous workers is bound to be citizen-centric and efficient. The ‘Centre for Ethical and Responsive Governance’ at HIPA aims to design and execute training programmes that would help individuals as well as government organizations a more responsive and ethical system of governance.
