Mumbai: In a significant administrative reshuffle, the Maharashtra government announced key postings of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers on September 3, 2025.

The latest appointments are aimed at reinforcing the governance apparatus across pivotal sectors including industrial development, state-level examinations, and tribal welfare.

Ajit Kumbhar Appointed Joint CEO of MIDC, Mumbai

Ajit Kumbhar (IAS: RR: 2015) has been appointed as the Joint Chief Executive Officer of the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in Mumbai. Known for his administrative acumen, Kumbhar takes charge of an institution that plays a vital role in fostering industrial infrastructure and investment across the state.

MIDC is responsible for creating and maintaining industrial zones, attracting industrial investments, and streamlining policy implementation. Kumbhar’s appointment is seen as a strategic step towards accelerating Maharashtra’s industrial growth, particularly in the post-pandemic recovery phase.

Nandkumar Bedse to Head MSCE, Pune

Nandkumar Bedse (IAS: SCS: 2015) has been posted as the Chairman of the Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE), Pune. MSCE conducts several high-stakes exams for recruitment and certification in the education sector, especially for teachers.

With issues of exam integrity and efficiency often under scrutiny, Bedse’s role will be critical in strengthening the transparency, efficiency, and reliability of the examination process. His experience is expected to bring stability and reform to a system that directly impacts thousands of aspirants every year.

Anoushka Sharma Gets Key Posting in Tribal Region

Anoushka Sharma (IAS: RR: 2023), who previously served as Assistant Collector in Kurkheda Sub-Division, Gadchiroli, has now been posted as the Project Officer of the Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP) in Bhamragad. She will additionally hold the charge of Assistant Collector, Aheri Sub-Division, also in Gadchiroli district.

Her new role will involve implementing welfare, education, health, and livelihood schemes in tribal-dominated regions, many of which are affected by socio-economic challenges and geographical inaccessibility. Sharma’s youthful energy and administrative potential are expected to bring renewed focus to grassroots development in these sensitive areas.

A Balanced Approach to Governance

This reshuffle reflects the Maharashtra government’s intent to deploy a mix of experience and emerging talent across various departments. While seasoned officers are being positioned in critical administrative posts, young officers are being entrusted with responsibility in challenging and development-centric regions.

The transfers aim to enhance governance delivery, promote regional equity, and streamline public administration across the state’s industrial, educational, and tribal development sectors.
