Ex Saumya Pandey, IAS cutting her maternal leaves for COVID duties or Sanjukta Parashar's role in Bodo militancy. 'Karmayogi' officers exhibit the spirit of dedication to ensure the upliftment of masses, in lines with Gandhiji's Talisman.

(ii) लोक सेवा में गैर-पक्षपात Non-partisanship in civil service 2nd ARC notes that non-partisanship is at the core of good governance. Ideals of impartiality and objectivity guide the civil servants to be non-partisan. TN Seshan's integrity & non-partisanship or UPSC as an organisation establishes non-partisanship at their core ethos.

Lack of objectivity can lead to direct/indirect partisanship, ex lack of codification of parliamentary privilege has led to chaotic instances. Objectivity leads to increase in trust among the general public & restores faith in public service.
