Rajbhasha Utkrishtta Sammaan to Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances in the category of Ministries/Departments with less than 300 personnel for the year 2025-26, by the Department of Official Language, Ministry of Home Affairs

The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances has been selected for the 'Rajbhasha Utkrishtta Sammaan' for the year 2025-26 by the Department of Official Language, Ministry of Home Affairs. The recognition is for the category of Ministries/Departments with less than 300 personnel, acknowledging its continuous performance in implementing the Official Language. The Department previously received the Rajbhasha Kirti Puraskar (First) for 2023-24 and 2024-25. Because rules preclude subsequent awards after two consecutive first prizes, this special 'Rajbhasha Utkrishtta Sammaan' was created to recognize its consistent work. The award will be presented at the Hindi Diwas Sammelan in Navi Mumbai on September 14, 2026.
