Prime Minister Narendra Modi will present awards to bureaucrats from both the Centre and states for excellence in implementing NDA governments priority programmes like Swachh Bharat Mission and Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana. Select bureaucrats will get the Prime Ministers awards on April 21, observed as Civil Services Day, for their contribution to effective implementation of the governments key initiatives. The award, which carries a citation and cash prize, is to recognise and reward the extraordinary and innovative works done by officers of the central and state governments. This is for the first time a new category of "excellence in implementing a priority programme" has been added to the PMs awards. The theme of 10th Civil Services Day is "Transforming India--Reform to Transform". "Modi will confer awards to civil servants for excellence in implementation of priority programmes of the government of India namely Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY), Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), Swachh Vidyalaya and Soil Health Card Scheme," a press release issued today by the Ministry of Personnel, said.
