New Delhi: The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has officially appointed three senior government officials to the post of Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) in major public sector infrastructure undertakings, on an additional charge basis. The appointments are temporary and will remain effective for six months, or until a regular appointment is made, or until further orders—whichever is earlier.

Vivek Varshney Appointed as CVO of IRCON

Vivek Varshney (IRSME:2005), currently serving as Executive Director, Vigilance (Mechanical) in the Railway Board, has been entrusted with the additional responsibility of CVO at IRCON International Ltd, New Delhi. His appointment has been cleared by the competent authority through a DoPT order issued on July 2, 2025.

Varshney is a seasoned Indian Railway Service of Mechanical Engineers (IRSME) officer, known for his strong track record in engineering oversight and vigilance operations within the Indian Railways system.

Zaigham Ali Khan Gets Charge as CVO of RVNL

Zaigham Ali Khan (IRAS:1998), who is presently the Executive Director, Vigilance (Accounts) in the Railway Board, will take on the additional role of CVO of Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), also based in Delhi. His appointment, also dated July 2, 2025, ensures that vigilance and compliance processes at RVNL remain uninterrupted.

Khan is an experienced Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) officer, widely respected for his expertise in finance, audit, and vigilance procedures.

Vinay Kumar Named CVO of NHAI

Vinay Kumar (IAS:1999:BH), serving as Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, has been given the additional charge of CVO at the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). This decision was announced via a DoPT order dated June 30, 2025.

A senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer of the Bihar cadre, Kumar has a vast administrative background and is expected to bring strong institutional oversight to one of India’s largest infrastructure authorities.

Significance of the Appointments

The CVO role is pivotal in maintaining transparency, accountability, and integrity within public sector enterprises. These temporary appointments ensure vigilance mechanisms continue smoothly during the transition period until permanent officers are posted.

The assignments also underscore the government’s proactive approach in strengthening vigilance oversight across critical infrastructure sectors like railways and highways, especially amid large-scale infrastructure investments.

About IRCON

IRCON, a government-owned infrastructure major, is widely recognized for its expertise in delivering complex railway, highway, and infrastructure projects both in India and internationally.

About RVNL

Established in 2005, RVNL has played a critical role in bridging the infrastructure gap in Indian Railways by delivering over 152 railway projects covering more than 16,500 km. Beyond railways, the organization has expanded its footprint across diverse infrastructure domains including metros, highways, and international projects.
