Bureaucrat Siddharth Mahajan (IAS:2003:RJ), currently on central deputation, is going to be repatriated to the Rajasthan cadre later this month. This could be made possible after the state government’s intervention and reminder to the Union Ministry of Personnel and Training for his early repatriation to his home cadre. But the state government could not get another IAS officer, Rohit Kumar’s (IAS:1997:RJ) repatriation, as the Centre declined to release Kumar.
Mahajan, known for his administrative acumen in Rajasthan bureaucracy, earlier served as secretary to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. He is currently posted as Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Sources indicate that there is a strong possibility of Mahajan being posted in the CMO as Secretary. Notably, the post of Principal Secretary in the CMO has been lying vacant since June 2025, when Alok Gupta (IAS:1996:RJ) was shifted from the CMO to the Industries Department as Principal Secretary.
