While impartiality\u00a0<\/span>means acting without any bias<\/span><\/b>, non-partisanship is a\u00a0<\/span>quality of being politically neutral<\/span><\/b>. These two are considered as\u00a0<\/span>essential\/foundational values<\/span><\/b>\u00a0for a civil servant in discharge of his\/her duties because:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-partisanship<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It entails that the civil servant will\u00a0<\/span>serve the government of the day faithfully<\/span><\/b>\u00a0without political bias. For example, a\u00a0<\/span>resident commissioner<\/span><\/b>\u00a0may have to\u00a0<\/span>serve under governments of differing political ideologies\u00a0<\/span><\/b>in centre and the state.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Will help a civil servant to\u00a0<\/span>take decision without any fear\/favour<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to any political party and based on constitutional principles. For example,\u00a0<\/span>during elections, non-partisanship<\/span><\/b>\u00a0will aid a\u00a0<\/span>DM\/DC in discharging the duties of a RO effectively.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. It ensures an\u00a0<\/span>effective\/professional relationship<\/span><\/b>\u00a0between\u00a0<\/span>the elected representative and the civil servants.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>For example,\u00a0<\/span>non-partisanship<\/span><\/b>, will\u00a0<\/span>enhance\/maintain the credibility<\/span><\/b>\u00a0of a\u00a0<\/span>chief secretary, irrespective of the party in power.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Impartiality:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Helps a civil servant\u00a0<\/span><\/b>to make decisions on<\/span>\u00a0objective criteria<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and not on biases and prejudices. For example<\/span>, impartiality<\/span><\/b>\u00a0will help the\u00a0<\/span>Chairman of the Finance commission<\/span><\/b>, in\u00a0<\/span>recommending resources<\/span><\/b>\u00a0on\u00a0<\/span>objective criteria<\/span><\/b>, without a bias to his\/her own home state.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. It ensures an\u00a0<\/span>amicable and effective relationship<\/span><\/b>\u00a0between civil servant and the society\/citizens.\u00a0For example, an\u00a0<\/span>impartial SDM\/DSP<\/span><\/b>\u00a0will\u00a0<\/span>command respect<\/span><\/b>\u00a0of the people, and\u00a0<\/span>thus will gain their cooperation\u00a0in various conflict management situations.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. It helps build\u00a0<\/span>an equal attitude towards everything and everyone<\/span><\/b>. For example, impartiality will\u00a0<\/span>aid a DM\/DC in implementing benefits<\/span><\/b>\u00a0under\u00a0<\/span>PMMVY<\/span><\/b>\u00a0without a\u00a0<\/span>bias of caste or religion.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Impartiality and non-partisanship are considered as the\u00a0<\/span>essential qualities in a civil servant<\/span><\/b>. These are necessary because,\u00a0<\/span>civil servants are expected\/mandated<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to act as per\u00a0<\/span>law\/constitution<\/span><\/b>\u00a0in a\u00a0<\/span>politically neutral<\/span><\/b>\u00a0manner,\u00a0<\/span>without any bias or prejudice.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
