Ranjeet is running a Non-Government Organization (NGO) to help deprived children. He receives government grants of ₹2 lakh for a project to educate the "non-school" going children who work at small shops, doing casual jobs etc. for the financial year 2018-19. On the completion of financial year Ranjeet managed to utilize only ₹50,000 from the grants. Inspite of his best efforts he was unable to persuade many street dwelling and poor children or their parents to join his NGO initiative. There exists a clause in grant rules that Ranjeet has to return all the unspent money back to the fund providers at the end of March 31st, 2019. However his advisor Roshan advised him following: (i) If we honestly return ₹1.5 lakh back, then fund providers will think that we are inefficient and ineffective NGO and they may not grant us adequate funds in coming years or in the worse case they may not sanction us any further projects. (ii) We may discuss our CA Ranjan to manage our account books and show that most of the grants has been utilised for the purpose it was given. (iii) Many other recipients of grant are also adopting this practice and no one raised objection so far, as long they give 10 percent of the grant to the in-charge of the project supervision desk. (iv) Though it may be considered unethical but we may use the grant money in coming years for the purpose for which it was disbursed. Hence we may not have a guilt feeling of unethical and immoral conduct. Answer the following questions: "Ethics are less a goal than a pathway and less a destination than a trip." Comment in the light of above.
