Vijoy Kumar Singh (IAS:1990:PB) on Saturday (30.12.2023) appointed as Special Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister of Punjab. This appointment comes in the wake of Vijoy Kumar’s repatriation to his native Punjab cadre, after a request by the state government.
The position of Special Chief Secretary had remained unoccupied since July 2023, following the retirement of Venu Prasad, who served as the Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister.
Vijoy Kumar Singh, being three years senior to Chief Secretary Anurag Verma, a 1993-batch IAS officer, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. His appointment is expected to contribute significantly to the state’s administrative landscape, filling a crucial position that had been vacant for several months.
