Murali Manohar Singh (IDES:1996), who has been serving as Director in the Department of Higher Education, has been repatriated to his parent cadre.
According to an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Tuesday (July 1, 2025), the competent authority has approved the Department of Higher Education’s proposal to repatriate Mr. Singh with the provision of extended cooling-off.
Singh was appointed as Director in the Department of Higher Education in April 2019 for a five-year central deputation.
