2. It makes your answer more organic and seamless.
3. You don’t end up waiting till the last week before Mains.
4. Organically integrated value addition can help you fetch 45–55% marks in Mains.

Use Examples of Meritorious Civil Servants in Ethics

Vidyastra MainsProTips

Importance
:
1. Citing real-life IAS/IPS/IFoS officers who acted with integrity, empathy, or courage makes your answer authentic and relatable — far better than theoretical jargon.

2. UPSC expects you to apply ethics to real situations, not just define them. Citing actual officers shows you understand how ethical principles work on the ground.

Special Feature: To help you use them effectively, we’ve included images of the civil servants. This ensures that their work and the values they exemplify are registered in your long-term memory.

Sharing Mythology and Religion for Essay and Ethics

Importance:
🎯 Anecdotes from mythology are story-based and emotionally engaging, which can make your essay stand out and leave a lasting impression.
Example: Citing Nachiketa’s pursuit of truth or Jatayu’s sacrifice for righteousness.

🎯 UPSC rewards answers that reflect Indian ethos and philosophical traditions. Using Indian mythology shows your understanding of Indian moral philosophy, not just Western thinkers.
Example: Referring to the Bhagavad Gita, Buddha’s teachings, Jain Three Jewels, or Prophet Muhammad’s ethical conduct shows a well-rounded understanding of ethical foundations.
