New Delhi: IAS Sanjay Kumar, currently serving as the Secretary of the Department of School Education & Literacy, has been appointed an additional role as the Secretary of the Department of Higher Education. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) issued an official order designating Kumar. He belongs to the 1990 batch from Bihar cadre.
This additional charge, approved by the competent authority, is effective from October 21, 2023, through November 29, 2023. The need for this additional responsibility arose due to the temporary leave of Sanjay Murthy (IAS:1989:HP). During this period, Sanjay Kumar will efficiently manage the duties of both the Department of School Education & Literacy and the Department of Higher Education.
