Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba was on Wednesday appointed the new Cabinet Secretary, the country's top bureaucratic post, for a tenure of two years.
"The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the appointment of Rajiv Gauba, IAS (JH:1982) as Cabinet Secretary with a tenure of two years from August 30 or until further orders, whichever is earlier," a government notification read.
ACC also approved the appointment of Gauba, a 1982-batch IAS officer of the Jharkhand cadre, as Officer on Special Duty in the Cabinet Secretariat before he takes over as Cabinet Secretary from the incumbent P K Sinha.
