New Delhi: The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Saturday issued multiple significant orders pertaining to the appointments and responsibilities of senior government officials across ministries. The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has cleared proposals for extensions and new responsibilities while also curtailing a central deputation.

Dr. Prabhat Kumar to Continue as CEO of Coconut Development Board

Dr. Prabhat Kumar, currently serving as Horticulture Commissioner, has been granted an extension of his additional charge as Chief Executive Officer (Joint Secretary level), Coconut Development Board (CDB). His extended tenure will be for another six months, effective from April 6, 2025.

The appointment will remain valid until the appointment of a regular incumbent or until further orders, whichever is earlier. The extension was approved based on a proposal by the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, and subsequently cleared by the ACC.

Sajeesh Kumar Gets Additional Charge of CMPFO

In another key appointment, Sajeesh Kumar N (IRTS:2002), presently serving as Coal Controller in the Coal Controller Organisation, has been given additional charge of Commissioner (Joint Secretary level), Coal Mines Provident Fund Organisation (CMPFO).

His tenure in the new role will be for a period of six months, starting May 1, 2025, or until a regular appointment is made, or further orders are issued. This move was based on a proposal by the Ministry of Coal and approved by the ACC.

Dr. Anupama’s Central Deputation Curtained Early

The ACC has also granted ex-post facto approval to the curtailment of central deputation of Dr. Anupama (IFoS:2000:WB), who was serving as Director in the Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation since June 2020.

Originally appointed for a five-year tenure, her deputation was curtailed before completion following a proposal dated May 13, 2025, submitted by the Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation. The reasons for the curtailment have not been disclosed.

These recent bureaucratic shifts reflect the central government’s continued efforts to fine-tune administrative roles across critical departments, ensuring optimal utilisation of senior officers’ expertise while keeping in view evolving departmental requirements.
