New Delhi: In a significant bureaucratic reshuffle, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the repatriation of senior IAS officer Abhijit Sinha (IAS:2000:NL) to his parent cadre of Nagaland. Sinha is currently serving as Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

The decision comes in response to a formal request made by the Government of Nagaland, indicating the state’s need to utilize the officer’s administrative expertise at the regional level. With this clearance, Sinha has been relieved from his central deputation, allowing him to return to Nagaland and take up new responsibilities, which are expected to be announced shortly.

Abhijit Sinha: A Strategic Bureaucratic Asset for Nagaland

Known for his calm administrative demeanour and deep understanding of northeastern affairs, Abhijit Sinha has held several pivotal positions, including previous roles in both state and central governments. His return to Nagaland is viewed as a move to strengthen the state’s administrative apparatus at a time when development and security coordination remain high priorities.

Alok Ranjan Ghosh Appointed Director in DoPT

In another key development, IAS officer Alok Ranjan Ghosh (IAS:2011:BH) has been appointed as Director in the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) under the Central Staffing Scheme (CSS).

Ghosh, who was previously on compulsory wait in the DoPT, will assume his new post with immediate effect, according to an order issued by the Department on July 31, 2025. His appointment will be effective until February 2, 2030, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

This assignment is seen as a fresh opportunity for Ghosh, who has served with distinction in administrative roles across Bihar and the central government. His experience is expected to contribute significantly to the functioning of the DoPT, particularly in areas related to personnel management, cadre policies, and training frameworks.

Significance of the Moves

These appointments reflect the dynamic nature of India’s bureaucratic framework, where timely placements and repatriations are critical for administrative continuity and effectiveness.

While Sinha’s return signals strategic cadre reinforcement in a sensitive and development-focused northeastern state, Ghosh’s induction into DoPT aligns with efforts to strengthen central governance mechanisms through experienced and capable leadership.
