Centre for Ethics

“Naitik Bharat – Khushahal Bharat”

The Centre for Ethics in Galgotias University has been established with an overall objective of rebuilding and reenergising an Ethical India (Naitik Bharat).

Ethics is based on well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do. It is also seen as a code of behaviour by which an individual should conduct herself. At the heart of ethics is a concern about something or someone other than ourselves, our own desires and self-interest. Ethics is concerned with other people's interests, with the interests of society, with the ‘ultimate good’. Thus, when people think ethically they are giving some thought to something beyond themselves. Truth telling is one of the fundamental assumptions of ethical behaviour. The others are non-malfeasance (to do no harm), beneficence (to do well to others), confidentiality (to respect privacy) and fairness (to be fair and socially responsible).According to Drucker, the only ethics needed for all is contained in the Hippocratic oath “ primum non nocere" ("above all, not knowingly to do harm").

Ethics had been an inalienable element of Indian society. Over the years there is sharp decline in ethics and ethical behaviour in society, governance, polity, business, public and private life. Ethics can be demolished by a single act of selfishness or greed since it is very fragile. We see ethics breaking every moment in government, business, society and in the family. We are facing a crisis of ethics at all levels and in every profession including private life and family. To remedy this, we need an intensive, uninterrupted and lasting movement for Ethical India called Naitik Bharat. Rebuilding ethical values in the society is vital to the development and happiness of our country.The Centre for Ethics is established keeping all these objectives in mind.
