To: The Prime Minister of India
Subject: - Provide ethical governance
Ethics in governance needs no justification. An ethical person is a good human being. In personal life, it is ethical thoughts, behaviour and governance of self. In organizations, it is extended to ethical governance of others’ matters also. It is not automatic. It needs constant attention and nurturing.
We want every department of India to be an ethical organization. We want all the people to be committed to doing the right thing because it is what we, as human beings, should do. Each one of us should have a personal commitment for ethical governance. We should be willing to be held accountable to our commitments.
Each organization is a pyramid. Ethical governance should start from the top. Leadership should be supportive and positive, and should establish examples of self-discipline and self-enforcement. Such ethical governance will flow down to the grass-root level and cover the entire organization.
As PM of India, we expect leadership action from you to create healthy and safe ethical climates in the all the departments in the country’s governance. There should be no ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’. There should be no excuses of any kind, no compromise on integrity, and no conflict of interest. Governance should be mindful of the context, the expectations of the people, and the available options when faced with issues.
We expect from all:
a) to be ethically awake to what is happening in the country and its larger social environment
b) to have a capacity to reflect on such issues in terms of ethics and values
c) to have a capacity to act on these issues in terms of ethics and values
d) to be able to live values in everything said and done.
The core of Indian ethical governance should be ethical decision making - should consists of: actions, which reflect good intentions, good means and expected good results, and actions, which reflect a healthy balance of obeying laws, consequences, care of others and good values.
Your leadership should responsibly exercise moral voice and seek cooperative solutions.
Your government should acknowledge obligations for social responsibility, which should be demonstrated by balancing economic or operational viability, protecting the environment, strengthening ethics and sustainable development.
Your government should believe in accountability for its decisions and actions. Its governance should be active in strengthening the ethical climate in the country, organizational accountability which fosters transparency, reporting and a willingness to be held accountable to public and natuinal expectations.
This petition is not against any person. The issue here is "ethical governance" not person(s).
I would request all the people who have the same say towards this issue to sign this petition and take up radical steps towards the betterment of this nation through ethical governance.

UPA government's decision to mix politics in demolition drive at Baroda is unethical. The demolitions were ordered by Gujrat HC and as such had full backing of the law. Everybody knows that some people have made it their business to enchroach on public land by illegally constructing religious structures (mandir, masjid, grudwara). Is UPA govt unaware of it? But to appease muslims, UPA government is ready to go any extent. It is unethical.
Thanks for creating the petition. I have signed it.
I have also signed the petition.

Please arrange to send it to PM. I have signed it.
Signed the petition.
This is no good governance Mr. Prime Minster.
The decision taken by your UPA government to increase number of seats for general category in educational institutions is an example of an hasty decision with only short-term goals in mind, and that makes it a bad governance motivated by unethical poiltical considerations. Is increasing seats in institutions of higher learning just putting some more chairs in the classroom? Have you thought about the modalities, outlays and support mechanisms for this.
On this quota issue, there is a total lack of transparency on the part of your government. There seems to be no link between PM and HRD minister. Members of the cabinet are not seeing eye to eye on this issue. This is yet another policy decision which has been taken without a serious public debate. Rather than clearing the issues your government is confusing the issues. Last week your government got a bill passed in the parliament to put a stop for one year on demolitions. Now it has decided to increase the seats in a bid to cool the anger of general category students on quota issue. You have yet again disappointed the people Mr. Prime Minister.
How a PM can provide ethical governance when he gets a bill passed in parliament for unethical governance? There was a law which has prohibited MPS to hold offices of profit. PM has got that law changed and termed all such offices-of-profit as offices-of-no-profit. These unethical politicians are incapable of providing ethical governance. No peition will them to shame.
I am sorry to say but it is a fact that one should not expect from this government any ethics in governance. This government has no capability to act in an ethical manner. It is prone to political compulsions and personal pressures of criminal ministers to all illogical limits.
It is 55 plus years this reservation ploicy is under implementation. Should it not not be reviewed to deternuine to what extent it has achieved its targets? But who has the time for this? Politicians are only busy in dividing the society in more and more classes so that they and their illicit designs survive. People were expecting some good work from Manmohan Singh but he has totally surrendered before criminals in his cabinet and self-serving allies.
