In a recent development, the central government has repatriated three Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers belonging to different cadres and batches.
The 1990 batch IAS officer of Punjab cadre, Mr. Vijoy Kumar Singh, has been repatriated to his parent cadre at the request of the Punjab government. Mr. Singh, who served as the Secretary of the Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare in the Ministry of Defence, will now return to his home cadre.
Similarly, Mr. Maheshwar Rao, a 1995 batch IAS officer of Karnataka cadre, has been repatriated to his parent cadre. Formerly the Additional Secretary and Financial Advisor in the Department of Space, Mr. Rao’s repatriation follows a request from the Karnataka government.
In a separate move, the central government has granted premature repatriation to Mr. Adwait Kumar Singh, a 2013 batch IAS officer of Telangana cadre. Citing personal reasons, Mr. Singh, who held the position of Deputy Secretary in the Ministry of Family and Welfare, will now return to his parent cadre.
