New Delhi: Following the formation of a new government in Rajasthan, the announcement of the new Chief Secretary has been made. Sudhanshu Pant, an IAS officer of the 1991 batch from the Rajasthan cadre, is set to become the next Chief Secretary of the state. Pant, originally from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, is currently serving as the Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in New Delhi. He has been relieved from this position to take up the role of Chief Secretary in Rajasthan.
