The career of a civil servant begins well before he is in office. Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) has brought out guidelines for elected representatives. In favour with a focus on the importance of maintaining ethics and professionalism.

Candidates are asked to refuse all forms of inducements and make decisions impartial and governed by the ethics of governance.
Conduct Beyond Training

The academy asserts that the candidates who are so chosen must begin applying values such as dignity, respect, and courtesy from the day they are chosen. Their previous conduct will continue to reflect upon their career, making it necessary to conduct ethical behavior every second of the day.
With 1,009 candidates passing the Civil Services Examination 2024. The academy is concerned with how they will perform in governance and public service delivery in the future. They will be making decisions in institutions that will influence the policies. Also the welfare of the people, and hence ethical conduct is a sought-after trait.
