Civil Services Day is an annual event celebrated in India on April 21st. The day is dedicated to the civil servants of India, who work tirelessly to ensure the smooth functioning of the government machinery and deliver public services efficiently.
The first Civil Services Day was celebrated on April 21st, 2006, to commemorate the day when Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the first Deputy Prime Minister of India, addressed the newly appointed civil servants at the All India Administrative Service (AIS) Officers' Conference held in 1947.
The main objective of Civil Services Day is to encourage civil servants to rededicate themselves to their duties and work towards the betterment of society. It provides an opportunity for civil servants to interact with each other and exchange ideas and best practices.
