In a key development, the deputation tenure of Amit Singh (IRSS:2000), currently serving as Secretary to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has been extended till March 31, 2027.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Friday (July 11, 2025), the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet approved the proposal of the Ministry of Railways to extend Singh’s deputation to the Uttar Pradesh government. This extension has been granted in relaxation of the standard deputation policy.

Prior to his role in the CM’s Office, Singh served as Regional Passport Officer, Lucknow, under the Ministry of External Affairs. He has also held key roles in the Indian Railways, including as Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) and as Secretary to the General Manager, NER, Gorakhpur.
