The government of Mizoram has lately appointed IAS Amit Sharma as the Special Secretary with Independent Charge for the Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) and Cooperation departments. Officer Sharma, who is a native of Jammu & Kashmir, got this appointment after his recent transfer from the Union Territory of Ladakh, sanctioned by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. Officer Sharma is a 2012-batch AGMUT cadre IAS officer.

By virtue of his new deputation, the seasoned IAS officer is expected to add another chapter in his distinguished career, as he continues to focus on enhancing e-Governance across the states/UTs he serves. His appointment is particularly significant as Mizoram becomes the third state or Union Territory where he has assumed the role of IT Secretary, following his successful tenures in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

Backed by a decade of specialized experience in the field, IAS Amit Sharma’s expertise is reiterated through his completion of the Executive Post Graduate Programme in e-Governance from the prestigious Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore.

IAS Amit Sharma’s contributions to e-governance initiatives have been substantial. While being posted in Jammu and Kashmir, he played a pivotal role in the successful implementation of key projects, including the computerization of land records and the deployment of the eOffice system, which streamlined administrative processes in the Civil Secretariats of Jammu and Srinagar. His efforts in provisioning online services for citizens significantly improved accessibility and efficiency within the region.

During his previous assignment in Ladakh, Officer Sharma was instrumental in setting up the UT Data Centre and Wide Area Network, which facilitated better connectivity and information sharing across various government departments. His strategic vision and hands-on approach to e-governance have garnered recognition, establishing him as a key player in enhancing technological integration within governmental operations.

As IAS Amit Sharma takes on this new role in Mizoram it is expected that he shall leverage his experience to bolster the state’s digital landscape. His leadership in the ICT and Cooperation departments is anticipated to drive innovations that improve public service delivery and foster greater collaboration among various stakeholders in the region.

His leadership is expected to usher in a new era of innovation and efficiency, further solidifying Mizoram’s position as one of the most progressive states in India and in the Northeast. The people of Mizoram can look forward to a transformative journey under his guidance, as the seasoned bureaucrat expedites the state’s governance and service delivery through cutting-edge technology and collaborative efforts.
