T Nanda Kumar, Chairman of Gujarat-based National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), has resigned.
The Appointments Committee of Cabinet has accepted the resignation of Kumar with effect from August 1, 2016, an order issued today by Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said, without citing any reason.
The senior-most whole-time director of the board has been given additional charge of the post of NDDB until the appointment of a regular incumbent, it said.
Kumar, a former IAS officer, has been working as NDDB chief since March 3, 2014. He is the third chairman of the board based in Anand, Gujarat, after V Kurien (1965-1998) and Amrita Patel (1998- February 2014).
