New Delhi: The Central Government has approved the entrustment of additional charge of Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL), Singrauli to Himanshu Jain (IRSSE), currently serving as the CVO of South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), Bilaspur, as per an official order issued by the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) on June 10, 2025.

Jain will hold the additional role for a period of six months, effective May 19, 2025, or until the appointment of a regular CVO at NCL, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

Strengthening Vigilance at Key Coal India Subsidiaries

He holds

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering from NIT Raipur
  • A Master’s degree in Microelectronics VLSI from IIT Bombay

Jain joined the Indian Railways through the UPSC Engineering Services Examination in 2007 and began his career in the South East Central Railway, a key freight loading zone. Over the years, he has held several significant roles, including:
