(2) Grievance redressal mechanism for improved services. Eg Public Banks give contact no. to complaint. (3) Provides feedback to organisations for improvement.

(4) Citizens, especially most vulnerable like women from minorities can participate more in governance. (5) Public servants carry huge responsibility of public welfare, which requires ethical conduct in both public & private lives. (6) Conscience is the inner voice of a person. It is an intellectual decision making process with respect to morality of a situation. (7) Empathy helps to experience emotions of others in oneself. (8) Rising inequality between rich & poor nations in economy, wealth etc. has significant implications. (9) IPCC report highlights that the global temperature has increased by 1.1°C since pre industrial times. (10) Impartiality & neutrality are two core virtues of a civil servant. (11) Bhagavad Gita offers valuable lessons in navigating ethical dilemmas. (12) The above case highlights the requirement of sensitive, urgent and compassionate approach on part of District Collector.
