Read the following passage carefully to answer these questions based on what is stated or implied there in :
Passage I :

The public sector is at the cross roads ever since the launch of economic reforms programme in India. The pendulum
has been swinging between survival and surrender. It is the result of a confluence of several factors : a shift in global
economic environment, the emergence of the market economy and myths surrounding the performance of the public
sector. So virulent has been the onslaught that it is becoming axiomatic that by the very concept, the public sector is
inefficient and resource waster whereas private enterprise is resource efficient.

The reform programme in India commenced with the policy of restricting of the public sector supported by greater
public participation. With the passage of time, the process of liberalisation has shifted to privatisation in a disguised
form couched asstrategic role, in the wake of the recent hot pursuit of the wholesale privatisation programme a lively
ana poignant debate has emerged. It provides a golden opportunity to introspect and revisit the issue.

At the very outset, it must be made clear that in the worldwide liberalised economic environment and very high stake
of the state in most public sector undertakings disinvestment policy seeks to differentiate closed or bankrupt
enterprise from the private sector — a fact deliberately over looked by the champions of privatisation. These
undertakings need immediate attention. They are an unnecessary drain on the public exchequer. A high priority area
for the disinvestment programme ought to be these enterprises but under one or the other argument these remain
unattended, may beit involves a tough task.. If these cannot be sold lock, stock and barrel asset stripping is the only
option. Obviously the government cannot realise good price from these assets but their disposal will help stop the
drain. If the assets are depreciated or became obsolete, then there is no point in holding on to them indefinhely and
take to softer option of selling the vibrant and highly profit-making organisations to reduce the budgetary deficit. Non
performers exist both in public and private sectors. Why condemn the public sector as a whole? Better option will be
closure or privatisation of loss-making and non-viable units supporting PSU's which could be turned around and
become healthy and viable and providing autonomyto the boards of PSU's which are performing well and have
potential to be globally competitive be welcome. With public participation in the PSU's there will be a good dose of
accountability in the system. What needs to be reviewed are some basic issues : the priorities allocated to the
enterprises selected for disinvestment, a comprehensive road map delineating the route, the modes and modalities
timing andits consequences. These basic issues require greater discussion and participative decisionmaking. In any
event, the disinvestment programme in respect of the closed and non revivable units is a mustif the drain of further
resourcesis to be prevented.

Let it be understood that PSU's are a big repository of value andit will take quite some time for privatisation
programmeto materialise despite the desire to expedite the process. Until then if a vacuum emerges attended by
uncertainty it will do a great harm to the investments which were made with such great dedication although desired
now.
The government has withdrawn a budgetary support over the last decade. If some support is extendedit is largely
directed to closed or losing enterprise which have no fortune.

Read the following passage carefully to answer these questions based on what is stated or implied therein :
Passage II :

Of the many aspects of public administration, the ethical aspect is perhaps the most important but the least codified.
While administrative rules and procedures have been codified in various public documents and manuals there is no
manual for the ethics of public servants.

While organisational behaviour analyses the factors which influence the behaviour of individuals in an organisation,
ethics refers to those norms and standards which behaviour of the people in an organisation must conform to. While
behaviour analysis deals with factual aspects, ethics relates to the normative aspects of administration. The normative
aspects are of the greatest significance. Just as for an individual if character is lost, everything is lost, so also for an
administration if the ethics is lost, everything is lost. Neither efficiency nor loyalty could be substitute for high ethical
standards. In India, though there is no etnical code for public administrators, there are what are called, the
Government Servants Conduct Rules. These rules lay down what constitutes misconduct for the public servants. It is
apparently implied that such misconduct, which is not permitted, is also unethical conduct.
