DARPG Receives Rajbhasha Utkrishtata Sammaan 2025-26

Why in News?

The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) was conferred the Rajbhasha Utkrishtata Sammaan for the year 2025-26 on September 14, 2026, for its excellence in Official Language implementation.

Key Points

• DARPG received the Rajbhasha Utkrishtata Sammaan for excellence in Official Language implementation.
• It had won the Rajbhasha Kirti Puraskar (First) in both 2023–24 and 2024–25.
• Because a department winning first prize for two consecutive years is ineligible for the same award the next year, a special Utkrishtata Sammaan was given to DARPG.
