What is the guiding principle of the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) Shield initiative recently launched in New Delhi?
Service Before Self
Contribute for Family, Support with Dignity
Family First, Nation First

Contribute for Family, Support with Dignity
Central Secretariat Service (CSS) Forum launches 'CSS Shield' under the principle 'Contribute for Family, Support with Dignity' in New Delhi.
Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh launched the 'CSS Shield' initiative organized by the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) Forum in New Delhi in September 2026. The initiative transitions an informal support structure operating since 2020 into a formal mutual support mechanism. It aims to deliver immediate financial aid of at least тВ╣15 lakh to the families of CSS officers who die while in service. The government is also examining long-term welfare measures under this framework, such as educational scholarships for the children of deceased officers.
The Central Secretariat Service (CSS) forms the administrative backbone of the Government of India, staffing administrative positions in various ministries and departments under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (Department of Personnel and Training - DoPT). Article 309 of the Constitution empowers Parliament and the Executive to regulate the recruitment and conditions of service of persons serving the Union.

Guiding Principle: Contribute for Family, Support with Dignity
Financial Assistance: Minimum тВ╣15 lakh per bereaved family of a CSS officer dying in service
