The ‘IntegrityPool’ is envisaged as a forum to spread honesty, build good character and imbibing virtuous acts. It's an attempt to deal with corruption from Basics and Fundamentals, instead of the present approach of curbing/minimizing its current shape and forms. It is conceived as a complementary strategy to current vigilance activities.
The mechanisms pertaining to corrective measures for deviant behavior in an organization are very much visible, in terms of their presence and impact. However, there is a lack of mechanism that promotes remarkable acts of integrity. A means to spread ethics and integrity by recognizing such acts is much needed. We tend to ignore (or take for granted) the honesty and innocence spread all around us and cloud them with opposites.
Another real issue is prevailing mis-concepts on integrity, ethics and honesty. In general shallowness on values and ethics is perceived, and it varies large and wide spread.
The need to do more research in this core ingredient of all of us, need to educate people, need to give a forum to evolve various new depths on integrity, ethics and character is aim for creating this pool.
‘Integrity Pool’ website shall provide a web based interface and repository for above. It would encourage sharing the acts of integrity, seen day in day around and also understand what it means. It shall act as a container of all such testimonials, with focus on railway persons, for enhancing overall increase in the intensity of honesty and ethical values.
In order to make it engaging, the focus is on providing a simple and intuitive user experience on the website. The users will be able to submit integrity instances and also view the ‘integrity pool’. Other functionalities shall include – a repository of existing material on Ethics and honesty, a forum for doing research on same and also for up voting, social media sharing, Integrity pool count and uploading the Integrity pledge copies for display.
This is also conceived as an evolving concept by itself.
