The Karyakshama Seva Vibhushanaya (KSV, Efficient Service Order) (Sinhala: කාර්යක්ෂම සේවා විභූෂණය kāryakṣama sēvā vibhūṣaṇaya) is a medal awarded to commissioned officers of the Sri Lanka Army Volunteer Force. Established on 7 January 1986, it replaced the Efficiency Decoration (Ceylon) with effect from 22 May 1972 with volunteer officers who have completed the stipulated required years of service qualifying to the award. Since 2020, with the Karyakshama Seva Padakkama becoming opened to all ranks, the KSV became limited to award for senior volunteer officers.[1]
It is ordained that the period of service requisite to qualify for the Decoration shall be an aggregate of eighteen years of Efficient Commissioned Service on the Active List of the Sri Lanka Army Volunteer Force, provided that the period of service so rendered has not been previously rewarded by any other Decoration for Efficient Service in the Sri Lanka Army Volunteer Force. The recipient of the decoration will be entitled to use the symbol ‘KSV’ after his/her name
All commissioned officers of the Sri Lanka Army Volunteer Force (including those attached to the National Cadet Corps) who, by or after 22 May 1972, have completed 18 years of excellent service are eligible for the award.[citation needed]
Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters "KSV".
