Event Highlights the National Anubhav Awards Scheme and Recognizes Retired Officials’ Contributions.

The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare is ramping up efforts under the Anubhav Outreach Campaign, 2025, aimed at maximizing submissions to the National Anubhav Awards Scheme. The campaign encourages retiring and retired central government officials to share their experiences on the Anubhav Portal [https://pensionersportal.gov.in/Anubhav/]. Since its launch in March 2015, the platform has recognized 59 outstanding write-ups and conferred 19 Jury Certificates.

Workshop to Enhance Awareness and Submissions

As part of the campaign, a workshop for Anubhav Nodal Officers from various Ministries, Departments, Public Sector Banks, and Central Public Sector Enterprises will be held at CSOI, Vinay Marg, New Delhi, on January 23, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The workshop, chaired by the Secretary (Pension), will focus on strategies to increase the number and quality of write-ups submitted.

• Sh. R. Rajagopal, DG (HR), Railway Board, and Sh. Anil Kumar B, Sr. Head, Personnel, ISRO, who will discuss their organizations' initiatives to promote meaningful contributions on the portal.

Write-ups published between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, are eligible for the National Anubhav Awards 2025. The awards aim to honor exceptional submissions that document impactful service and contributions to governance and public administration.

Prime Minister's Vision Behind Anubhav
