Probity in Governance for UPSC CSE
Transparency, RTI, codes of conduct, citizen's charters — the institutional machinery against corruption.
📊 High-yield and current-affairs-linked — RTI, e-governance, and anti-corruption reforms recur
How toppers play this section
Probity questions reward naming the actual institutional mechanisms (RTI Act provisions, citizen's charters, codes of conduct vs. codes of ethics, e-governance initiatives) rather than general statements about 'the need for transparency.' This subject is also the most current-affairs-linked part of GS4 — recent reforms and scandals are frequently the hook for a question.
