Senior IAS officer Pawan Kumar Agarwal was on Tuesday appointed as chief executive officer of food regulator food safety and standards Authority of India (FSSAI), as part of senior level bureaucratic reshuffle effected by the government on Tuesday. As many as 12 Additional Secretaries, including Agarwal, have been appointed in various central government departments.
Agarwal, a 1985 batch IAS officer of West Bengal cadre, is presently joint secretary in ministry of skill development and entrepreneurship. He has been appointed in place of Yudhvir Singh Malik, an order issued by department of personnel and training said.
Malik, believed to be the man behind the ban on global giant Nestle's popular noodle brand Maggi, was shifted as additional secretary in Niti Aayog in September this year.
