The Union Government recently appointed IAS Rishirendra Kumar as the Private Secretary to the Union Minister of State for Finance, Mr. Pankaj Chaudhary, for five years.
The circular mandating the same was issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) as the competent authority has approved the appointment of Mr. Kumar to the post of Private Secretary for five years with effect from the date of assumption of the charge of the post or on a co-terminus basis or till he ceases to function as Private Secretary to the Minister or until further orders, whichever transpires earlier.
Mr. Kumar, who is a 2011-batch Uttar Pradesh cadre IAS officer, shall assume his new designation at the Deputy Secretary level.
