The Civil Services Day was observed in India on 21 April. The day is marked to rededicate civil servants to the cause of citizen and renew their commitments to public service and excellence in work.

As India is dealing with the second wave of Covid 19 spread, this year the celebration of the occasion was not the same as previous years. Civil servants from all around the country are working in a singular force to contain the spread of the virus and provide safety to the citizens of the nation. Many have also gone beyond their line of duty in helping the general public during such unusual times.

The efforts put in by such officers are being appreciated in the whole of India.

The day was first celebrated in the year 1947, when our first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, addressed the probationers of Administrative Services Officers at Metcalf House, Delhi. He commemorated the day by addressing the importance of civil servants in the country as he referred them as the ‘steel frame of India’.

Whereas, the first function to observe the Civil Services Day was held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on 21 April 2006.

BUREAUCRATS OBSERVING CIVIL SERVICES DAY

From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the President of India, everybody greeted civil servants on the auspicious day and shared their contribution towards the country and its people. Many civil servants also came on Twitter and reminisced the time when they joined the prestigious service.

PM Modi took to Twitter and offered his wishes to the civil servants and acknowledged the efforts put in by every bureaucrat to help the citizens and enhance national progress. He tweeted, “Best wishes to all Civil Servants on the occasion of Civil Services Day. In different terrains and across different sectors, they are working tirelessly to help our citizens and enhance national progress. May they keep serving the nation with the same zeal.”

President of India Ram Nath Kovind also wished the civil servants on the occasion and referred them as the backbone of India’s fight against Covid 19. He tweeted, “On Civil Services Day, my greetings to civil servants past and present! Our bureaucracy is rightly called the Steel Frame, and you’ve been the backbone of our fight against Covid-19. You’ve raised the bar of professional excellence and dedication in public service. All the best!”

The Government of India also greeted civil servants on the occasion and offered a salute to all the Administrative Services Officers for their commitment towards public service.

The Vice President of India, IAS Association, Union Minister Jitendra Singh and many more offered their greeting to civil servants on the occasion of Civil Services Day.
