Indianmandarins has reliably learnt that former CRPF DG K Vijay Kumar (Retd IPS:1975:TN) may play a critical role in the empanelment of 1999 batch IAS officers as Joint Secretaries in the Govt of India. Reportedly, a Committee of Secretaries has started doing its job which includes three former IAS officers and a former IPS officer K Vijay Kumar.
The 1999 batch is relatively a very small batch comprising of about 50 IAS officers. It is even smaller than the 1998 batch which included only 55 officers.
