The state government recently announced a significant administrative reshuffle, appointing Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Manoj Pingua to assume the additional charge as Chairman of the Board of Secondary Education. This strategic move was made following the departure of Alok Shukla, leaving the position vacant.
Manoj Pingua, who currently holds pivotal roles as the Principal Secretary of the Forest Department, Principal Secretary of the Home and Jail Department, and the Chief Resident Commissioner of Chhattisgarh Bhawan in New Delhi, has now been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the Board of Secondary Education.
Furthermore, in a move to bolster the state cadre with fresh talent, three probationary IAS officers from the 2021 batch have received new postings after completing their phase two training at the National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie.
Manoj Pingua’s additional charge as the Chairman of the Board of Secondary Education reflects the government’s trust in his administrative capabilities and multi-faceted expertise. His concurrent responsibilities in various critical departments highlight his extensive experience and adeptness in handling crucial administrative affairs.
The role of Chairman of the Board of Secondary Education carries significant weight in shaping the educational landscape of the state, and Pingua’s appointment underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring quality education and efficient governance.
Meanwhile, the induction of probationary IAS officers into the state cadre following their training at the prestigious National Academy of Administration marks a strategic step in reinforcing administrative prowess within the government ranks.
The state government’s reshuffle aims to streamline administrative operations and leverage the expertise of adept officers like Manoj Pingua, while also infusing new talent to further the developmental agenda in Chhattisgarh.
