Year-End Gift for Officers Awaiting Long-Pending Promotions
This long-awaited notification from the Home, Prisons, and Disaster Management Department has brought considerable joy to officers who had been patiently awaiting career advancement. The promotions arrive just ahead of the New Year, symbolizing a morale-boosting development for the state police force and reinforcing the government’s commitment to strengthening administrative efficiency.
Who Has Been Promoted
The following officers have been elevated to the IPS rank after a comprehensive evaluation process:
- Mr. Radha Prem Kishore (Special Branch)
- Mr. Mukesh Kumar Mahato (awaiting posting)

- Mr. Avinash Kumar
- Ms. Roshan Doll
- Mr. Shriram Samad (CCR, ASP)
- Mr. Rajesh Kumar

A Merit-Based Selection Backed by UPSC Evaluation
The promotions were granted on the basis of exceptional performance and strong Annual Confidential Reports. From a list of 17 officers submitted by the state government, the UPSC recommended these nine officers after a detailed assessment. Once the Commission approved the names, the final proposal was forwarded to the state government, which issued the official notification confirming their induction into the IPS cadre.
A Developmental Push to Strengthen Policing in Jharkhand
The expansion of the IPS cadre is expected to play a crucial role in improving district-level supervision, enhancing law-and-order management, and supporting ongoing police modernization efforts. This move aligns with the state’s strategic push to reinforce leadership in its policing system and bolster administrative capacity across key districts.
