National Civil Services Day Celebrations On 21st April 2019 Theme, Details, Aim, Celebrations
National Civil Services Day is celebrated every year on 21st April across India when civil servants rededicate themselves to cause of the citizens and renew their commitment to public service.
This year in 2019, it is the 13th edition of celebrations and is focussed on ‘‘Evolving Strategies for Transforming Aspirational Districts’’.
National Civil Services Day coincides with the date on which Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel had addressed the first batch of probationers at All India Administrative Service Training School at Metcalfe House, New Delhi in 1947. In this famous speech, Sardar Patel had referred to bureaucrats as “steel frame of India”.
To mark the National Civil Services Day, a function is organized by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions.
Civil servants from various corners of the country come together and meet each other and learn from each other’s experiences of working in the public domain.
On this day, the Prime Minister Award for Excellence in Public Administration is presented in three categories to best civil servants since the year 2006.
The awards have been instituted with a view to acknowledge, recognize and reward the extraordinary and innovative work done by officers of Central and State Governments towards the welfare of the common citizen.
