Rajeev Kumar, a distinguished member of the 2003 batch, currently holds the position of Managing Director at HPTDC. His commendable service and seniority within the administrative hierarchy have merited this promotion.
The other promoted officers, Sunil Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Dalip Kumar Negi, and Dr. Pankaj Lalit, each bring their unique expertise and dedication to the fore. Dr. Pankaj Lalit, in particular, hailing from the 2005 batch, signifies the continued influx of fresh talent into the administrative landscape.
However, owing to the enforcement of the model code of conduct for the impending Lok Sabha elections, these officers are expected to retain their current postings for the time being.
