Ajay Kumar Sharma has been recommended as the next Director (Personnel) of SJVN Limited, a public sector unit under the Ministry of Power, located in Shimla. This decision was made by the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) on Friday, following their panel interviews.
Currently holding the position of General Manager at SJVN, Mr. Sharma was selected from a competitive pool of 11 candidates. The selection panel, which convened on May 24, included potential candidates from several notable public enterprises such as NTPC Limited, REC Limited, SAIL, Indian Railways, and HPSEBL.
