If credible sources are to be believed, the Central Government has granted approval to the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) application of Mr. Amar Nath (IAS:1994:AGMUT), a remarkable civil servant. This decision has allowed him to retire a noteworthy six years before his scheduled retirement date. Mr. Nath officially concluded his tenure on August 17, bidding farewell to his distinguished career.
Presently, Mr. Amar Nath holds the position of Additional Secretary within the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances (D/o AR&PG). His recent extension in Central Deputation, which had initially been set to conclude on May 31, 2023, was granted an additional three-month period. This extension was granted either until his impending retirement, as sanctioned through his voluntary retirement application, or until a date preceding that, if applicable.
Reliable reports indicate that the government’s decision to accept his VRS application has given Mr. Amar Nath the liberty to depart from his dedicated service. Notably, his preceding role encompassed serving as Additional Secretary within the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, further underscoring his diverse and impactful contributions to various sectors of governance.
