Civil Servant's Day, also known as Nijamati Sewa Diwas, is observed in Nepal every year on September 7. This day was first celebrated in 1956 following the adoption of a law that organized civil servants into distinct groups and ranks. The holiday provides a day off for governmental employees, who number over 80,000, with around 15,000 working in the health sector. Each year, the government selects a theme for the celebration, which includes various activities such as honoring outstanding civil servants with awards and organizing sports competitions. The ministries that observe this day off may vary annually, with some years allowing additional days off for employees in educational institutions.
