About the Day

April 21st marks Secretaries’ Day (also known as Administrative Professionals Day) in India, a day dedicated to honoring the invaluable contributions of secretaries, administrative assistants, and other administrative support professionals. Originating from the speech delivered by Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel on April 21, 1947, where he hailed civil servants as the 'steel frame of India,' this day holds significance in recognizing the backbone of organizational efficiency and success.
