I think i misjudged the question and focussed less on changing their attitudes ...Thankyou
Am I going in the right direction ?
1. Stakeholders invilved viz. Me, subordinates, local politicians, effected local people/community 2. Highlight ethical, and administrative issues involved - eg. for subordinates- Lack of professionalism, sense of duty, integrity , for local ppl- lack of awareness abt their rights, collective strengths , for political leaders.- political neutrality, service ethos Etc.
As a result of all the above, huge disservice to the ppl specially the vulnerable ones for which the state n administration hav the highest resp.
Now, how to change attitude:-
Options:- 1.) Seek transfer as messy , unmanageable situation 2.) Senior ko pakdo 3.) Take strict action straightaway as no respect for law, authority 4.) Show patience, leadership and adopt a mutidimensional and stakeholdership approach to further institutionalization of participatory goverbance.
Will adopt option 4; My course of action;- 1. Obligations on me- leading from front, tipping point leadership yet adopting a stakeholdership approach. 2.action for subordinates - carrot n stick , pressure, persuasion i.e, reward & punishment related incentive system and setting up proper Behavioural/attitudinal traings, workshops ,; warnins followed by exemplary punishment or reward as per thr case. Keeping higher ups in loop n confidence must for this. 3. For office/ workculture - process reengineeing, then citizen charter in the mefium term made with a stakeholdership approach 4. My actions For ppl - most important, as now formal accountability is making way for social/demand led accountability. So making them aware, vigilant and active participant in governance rather than passive beneficiaries so, social campaign taking along community influencers, local achievers, local bodies, civil society, ngos, thus convergence of all social n administrative resources at disposal to infuse participatory governance. Nukkad nataks, camapaign along with school kids , vernacular mefia play impt role in this.

Nice approach. But , I would like to point out that , I am not a district collector there but just tehsildar which implies that I will have limited flexibility with respect to arranging workshops etc.
Doubt about CONFLICT of INTEREST and ETHICAL Dilemma:
See in Lexicon 3 conditions of ethical dilemma are given: 1) agent needs to take action 2) choice between two actions 3) in either action some ethical principle is compromised
So in CoI usually there will not be ethical compromise for both actions (a Right vs Wrong situation).

So do we consider CoI under ED ?
Both have an intersection. When a person uses his chair to fulfill his personal benefits keeping aside org benefits it's a CoI. But it's not an ethical dilemma However ethical dilemma, can be like right to life vs aborting..and such a scenario. Obviously when individual and org ethics are not in sync, then CoI is bound to occur, say whistleblowing vs malpractices. Or maybe say you have a better negotiating point ,but org wants to shoot dead a person and call it encounter death. So there is an area of convergence, but not all CoI is an ethical dilemma, since nothing ethical in wrongly using the chair for personal benefit.

What do you understand by objectivity? Why is objectivity regarded as one of the foundational values for a civil servant?
good ans.. bt some points
the first sentence of your ans has to go, its mere tautology. better to put.. Objectivity is the the approach to decision making that is free from personal feelings, opinions, prejudice and biases.
And in the why part I feel apart from points you have covered, one should also write practical reasons for objectivity, such as: - to reduce arbitrary decision - reduce misuse of discretionary power that public servant enjoys - guide one in positions of conflict of interest
PS: Actually even I am not sure whether in the Part A qns we should keep language simple and practical or use very structured theoretical answers. Anyone care to guide ?
