Rajasthan govt seeks repatriation of two IAS officers amid cadre shortage

Rajasthan's employees' welfare

Facing a severe shortage of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers, the Rajasthan government has written to the Centre seeking the repatriation of two senior bureaucrats — Rohit Kumar (IAS:1997:RJ) and Siddharth Mahajan (IAS:2003:RJ) — who are currently on central deputation.

At present, only 280 officers are serving in the state against a sanctioned strength of 332. Of these, 23 officers are on central deputation and one on inter-state deputation, adding extra administrative burden on those serving in Rajasthan.

Mahajan is currently posted as Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, while Rohit Kumar serves as Additional Secretary in the Cabinet Secretariat. Another senior officer, Purna Chandra Kishan (IAS:2005:RJ), appointed as Joint Secretary in the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare in August 2024, has also sought repatriation to the Rajasthan cadre for personal reasons.

According to sources, one of these officers may be considered for the post of Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, which fell vacant following the transfer of Alok Gupta (IAS:1996:RJ) as Principal Secretary, Industries.

Notably, just days ago the state government had withdrawn the No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) of three IAS officers — K K Pathak (IAS:2001:RJ), P Ramesh (IAS:2005:RJ), and Nakate Shiv Prasad Madan (IAS:2011:RJ) — citing the acute shortage of officers. Despite this, the Centre went ahead and appointed Dr Pathak as Joint Secretary in the Department of Fertilisers. He was relieved by the state government nearly a month later, ending weeks of stalemate. The episode, and the latest repatriation requests, underscore the persistent scarcity of IAS officers needed to sustain Rajasthan’s administrative machinery.

In a major milestone for India’s steel industry, state-owned NMDC Steel Limited (NSL) has become the first Indian company to receive the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) license (IS 18384:2023) for hot rolled steel strip, sheet, and plates used in pipeline transportation systems for the petroleum and natural gas sectors.

The certification was presented during the World Standards Day 2025 celebration held in Raipur on October 16, where Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai handed over the license to Amrit Narayan, Chief General Manager (Steel), NMDC.

Operating under the Ministry of Steel, NMDC Steel runs a 3 million tonne per annum (MTPA) integrated steel plant in Nagarnar, Bastar district of Chhattisgarh. The recognition marks a significant achievement for NSL, underscoring its commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainable manufacturing.

“We are proud to be the first in India to receive this BIS license. It is a testament to our dedication to excellence and our contribution towards strengthening India’s industrial standards and infrastructure,” said Amitava Mukherjee, CMD, NMDC Steel Limited.

The IS 18384:2023 certification validates the company’s adherence to the highest global benchmarks in steel production for pipeline systems, reinforcing its role in supporting India’s energy and infrastructure sectors.

Since commencing commercial production on August 31, 2023, NMDC Steel has rapidly positioned itself as a key player in the domestic steel industry. In FY25, the company reported Rs 8,503.05 crore in revenue, marking a 179% year-on-year growth over Rs 3,048.99 crore in FY24, driven by the ramp-up of its state-of-the-art Nagarnar plant.
