In a significant administrative move, Sudhansh Pant, a distinguished 1991 batch IAS officer of the Rajasthan cadre, has been named Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in the Cabinet Secretariat.
This transitional appointment will see Pant serve as OSD until he officially takes charge as the Secretary, Social Justice & Empowerment. This dual-stage appointment is a common administrative practice, allowing for a smooth transition of responsibilities at the highest levels of the bureaucracy. Pant’s posting is seen as a strategic move to leverage his vast administrative experience in steering the critical policy work of the Social Justice & Empowerment Ministry.
