KATHMANDU: President Ramchandra Paudel has said that with the development of modern technology society needs ethics, good conduct and honesty.
Addressing the Hem Bahadur Malla Award distribution ceremony organized by the Public Administration Association of Nepal (PAAN) here today, he said that although technology can be borrowed and used from others moral conduct, ethics and honesty are those associated with the conscience of the individual. “The basis of modern administration is ethical and responsible leadership,” President Paudel said. “I think that today our society needs those ethics, moral conduct and honesty a little more.”
