National Civil Services Day is celebrated in India on 21 April every year. This day is dedicated to the civil servants and provides an opportunity for them to rededicate themselves to the citizens’ service.

The origin of National Civil Service Day dates back to the speech by the first Home Minister of Independent India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. On April 21st, 1947, Patel addressed the probationers of Administrative Services Officers at Metcalf House in Delhi and referred to the civil servants as the steel frame of India in 1947 and the newly created Indian Administrative Service.
