The Uttar Pradesh government has named former Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh as the inaugural Chief Executive Officer of the State Transformation Commission (STC), marking a major milestone for the body established in 2022. Singh will serve a three-year term from the day he assumes office, with his appointment formalised through a government order issued on Saturday by Alok Kumar, Principal Secretary, Planning. He is expected to take charge on Monday.
A 1988-batch IAS officer, Singh previously served as Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh from July 2024 until his retirement on July 31, 2025. His 14-month tenure was marked by leadership across governance, infrastructure expansion, and economic development. The creation of the CEO position—and Singh’s elevation to it—is intended to accelerate Uttar Pradesh’s long-term transformation roadmap. As the state’s apex strategic think tank, the STC is tasked with driving structural reforms, policy innovation, and district-level development strategies aligned with the government’s decade-long economic agenda.
