Explanation:
National Civil Service Day is observed every year on April 21. The function was organized by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances and Pensions during which PM gave “Prime Minister Award for Excellence in Public Administration” to best civil servants. The first time this award was given in 2006 at the function in Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. Since then, we celebrate National Civil Service Day every year on April 21. April 21 is observed as a National Civil Service Day every year because on the same date in 1947, Home Minister Sardar Patel inaugurated the All India Services and addressed the first batch of probationary officers at All India Administrative Service Training School at Metcalfe House, New Delhi and called bureaucrats as the “steel-frame of India”.
