The Uttar Pradesh government on Friday promoted two senior IAS officers of the 1993 batch—Alok Kumar-II and Veena Kumari—to the Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) rank, the Apex Scale (Level-17) of the Pay Matrix.
The promotion places both officers in the top echelons of the state bureaucracy, recognizing their longstanding service and contributions across key departments.
Prior to their promotion:
- Alok Kumar-II (IAS:1993:UP) was serving as Principal Secretary, MSME & Export Promotion, Infrastructure & Industrial Development, and NRI Department.
- Veena Kumari (IAS:1993:UP) was posted as Principal Secretary, Sugar Industries & Cane Development, and Excise Department.
The promotions are part of a periodic seniority-based advancement to Apex Scale, which represents the highest pay and responsibility bracket in the Indian Administrative Service at the state level.
