Hopeful of continuity
It is hoped that appointment of 1991-batch IAS officer Rachna Shah as secretary will end musical chairs at the Department of Personnel & Training. Incidentally, Shah is the third full-fledged DoPT secretary in the year. While Radha Chauhan retired on June 30, Vivek Joshi replaced her only in August. Joshi’s stint lasted till October 31 as he was sent to Haryana as chief secretary. Department of Investment and Public Asset Management secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey held DoPT’s additional charge until Shah’s appointment.Back in Familiar Terrain
1992-batch IAS officer Vineet Joshi, who was appointed as Manipur chief secretary in May 2023 after ethnic unrest there, is back at the Centre in his familiar terrain at the education ministry as higher education secretary — more so when PMO is holding regular reviews on exam reforms. In his previous stint, he was additional secretary, CBSE chairperson as well as National Testing Agency. Joshi’s return comes in the wake of the appointment of former home secretary Ajay Bhalla as governor of the troubled state.Invitation Spree
