Q.4 Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri’s life exemplifies value-driven public service of the highest order. What are the values one can learn from his life to be a good citizen and a good administrator? (10 Marks)
Mentor’s Comments-
Give a brief introduction on Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Discuss events from his life which exemplify value-driven public service.
Introduction is good.
Values mentioned are fine too, however many more can be added. Utilitarianism is unfairly related to him, he believed in the welfare of all, you can call his philosophy Gandhian and not utilitarian. Utilitarianism usually ignores the means to achieve the ends. In patriotism, you can mention his participation in NCM; war with Pakistan, visiting army camps to boost morale of soldiers can be used as examples for decision-making and leadership; he had resigned as railway minister taking responsibility for an accident(strong moral character), appointment of Santanam committee (integrity), asking his family to fast before requesting the nation to do so (high EQ), removed his surname( against caste system and empathy for downtrodden) etc all can be mentioned.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
Good attempt. You have covered some important aspects of Shastri ji’s life.
In intro, you can use the slogan Jai Jawan Jai Kisan given by him which heralded India on the path of food self sufficiency.
Patriotism can also be mentioned by citing example of his participation in freedom movement in his early life. He had resigned as railway minister in the wake of a rail accident, this example can be used to show his moral character and sense of responsibility. Other points are good.
Conclusion is fine too.
Keep practicing. 🙂
