Description
The Union government has approved a series of major administrative changes, appointing seven senior IAS officers as secretaries in several important ministries. The reshuffle is intended to boost efficiency and provide stable leadership in sectors such as petroleum, telecom, agriculture, tourism, and infrastructure.
New Secretaries for Petroleum and Telecom
Neeraj Mittal has been selected as the new Petroleum Secretary. He replaces Pankaj Jain, who will now serve as the Member Secretary of the Eighth Pay Commission. Mittal’s exit from the telecom department clears the way for Amit Agrawal—until now the Pharmaceuticals Secretary—to take charge of the Department of Telecommunications.
Key Shifts Across Central Departments
Manoj Joshi will move from the Department of Land Resources to head the pharmaceuticals ministry. In another major shift, V. Vidyarthi has been reassigned from tourism to the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Srivatsa Krishna will now lead the tourism department in Vidyarthi’s place.
Important Appointment in Agriculture Ministry
Atish Chandra, currently posted in the Prime Minister’s Office, has been appointed Officer on Special Duty in the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. He is set to take over as Secretary in February, following the retirement of Devesh Chaturvedi. Meanwhile, Sunil Paliwal, who has been serving as chairman of the Chennai Port Trust, has been chosen to head the Inland Waterways Authority of India.
This round of appointments is expected to strengthen administrative readiness and improve continuity across several strategic ministries.
