The National Service Medal (Hindi: राष्ट्रीय सेवा पदक, Rashtriya Seva Padak) is a state medal conferred by the Government of Vishwamitra upon the approval of the Rashtradhyaksh who is the sovereign of the Vishwamitran honours system. The medal is conferred once a year, on the occasion of the national day i.e. on 15 April every year in order to recognize the outstanding contributions and services depicted to the nation and its people in various capacities.

The medal was constituted on 8 April 2021, a week before the 14th National Day by the Rashtradhyaksh. It can be conferred upon both citizens and foreigners for their service to the nation. The medal is designed by Abrams Wiucki-Dunswed, a national artist of Vishwamitra.
