Raipur (30.06.2025): When Amitabh Jain (IAS: 1989: CG) prepares to bid adieu today to the premier service after completing fifty five months long tenure as Chief Secretary, the bureaucratic circle in Raipur finds itself in dilemma over the next CS as Chhattisgarh apprehends a tough task-master this time. The names of four senior IAS officers have been in the reckoning for the new CS including Renu Gonela Pillay (IAS: 1991), Subrat Sahoo (IAS: 1992), Amit Agrawal (IAS: 1993) and Manoj Kumar Pingua (IAS: 1994). It is whispered that two of the four names are ruled out.
Raipur keenly awaits a signal from the Centre. Till the last night, it was unclear whether the New Delhi establishment would repatriate Union Pharmaceuticals Secretary Amit Agrawal to succeed Amitabh Jain or it would authorise the Raipur establishment to pick one of its choicest officers as the next CS.
