Presidential Awards – CBEC's Investiture Ceremony on 27th January 2009
The CBEC Investiture Ceremony for the recipients of Presidential Award for the year 2008 will be held at Vigyan Bhawan , Maulana Azad Road, New Delhi from 11.30 AM onwards on 27.01.2009.
Spouse/other family member of the recipient are welcome to attend the investiture ceremony. The expenditure with regard to travel as well as accommodation in Delhi in respect of the spouse/ other family members will, however, have to be borne by the concerned recipients. As regard the travel and stay of the recipients, the same will have to be organized by the recipients themselves and they may claim expenditure in this regard as per their entitlements from their respective establishments.
The awardees will really be concerned about the travel and accommodation of the spouse.
When the Department has chosen to confer the Presidential award on an officer, can't the Department spend a little money for the travel and accommodation for the spouse?
