In a notable reshuffle in Maharashtra’s administrative landscape, Pune District Collector Suhas Diwase, an IAS officer of the 2009 batch, has been elevated to Secretary in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and appointed as the state’s Jamavbandi Commissioner. His promotion marks the culmination of a successful tenure in Pune, where he managed critical elections and spearheaded key infrastructure projects.

Replacing him as Pune District Collector is Jitendra Dudi, a 2016 batch IAS officer who previously served as Satara District Collector. The transfer orders, issued by V Radha, Additional Chief Secretary of the General Administration Department, signify a strategic shift in Pune’s administrative leadership.

Jitendra Dudi, originally from Jaipur, Rajasthan, brings a diverse professional background to his new role. His administrative journey began in Jharkhand before transitioning to Maharashtra, where he held various positions, including Junnar Provincial Officer in Pune district. Most recently, Dudi served as Chief Executive Officer of the Sangli Zilla Parishad. His portfolio also includes a stint as an Assistant Secretary in the central government.

The leadership transition also sees Pune Zilla Parishad CEO Santosh Patil transferred to Satara, where he will assume the role of District Collector. This reorganisation reflects a renewed focus on governance and operational priorities.
