Chandigarh (20.01.2025): K Siva Prasad (IAS: 1993: PB), Additional Chief Secretary, has sought voluntary retirement from service (VRS) and the Punjab government has sent his application to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India. If the Centre accepts his application, he would be relieved.
This is not the first time that Prasad has sought premature retirement. During former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s regime also, he had put in his papers. He, however, reconsidered his decision after Amarinder Singh had asked him to do so.
He has penned a book, Gita Acharan – A Beginner’s Perspective, on the teachings of Bhagavad Gita and its application in modern-day life. The book has been translated into several languages. It is being debated whether he would join politics. He is a relative of former Lok Sabha Speaker GMC Balayogi.
