New Delhi: In a significant move toward bolstering India’s administrative capacity-building reforms, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the appointment of S. Radha Chauhan, IAS (Retd., UP:1988) as the full-time Chairperson of the Capacity Building Commission (CBC).

Chauhan, who previously served as Secretary of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), will assume the role for a period of three years from the date of her joining or until further orders, whichever comes earlier.

Leadership Transition at CBC

Simultaneously, the ACC has approved the extension of Adil Zainulbhai’s tenure as the part-time Chairperson of the Capacity Building Commission with effect from August 1, 2025, until Ms. Chauhan formally takes charge.

This extension has been granted as a special relaxation under Clause L of the service terms for Chairperson and Members of the CBC, overriding Clause B which typically governs such appointments.
