Who
will be the new Cabinet Secretary of India on June 13? If sources are
to be believed, the current incumbent, Ajit Kumar Seth, might get an
extension for another year. The reason being given for the extension is
that Seth is non-controversial and is an efficient officer with a clean
image. Seth, a 1974 batch IAS officer of the Uttar Pradesh cadre, joined
as Cabinet Secretary on June 14, 2011, on a two-year tenure. So, as the
new government will have little time to select the new Cabinet
Secretary, it may choose to extend Seth’s term. But what if his term is
not extended? There are many bright officers to choose from. In all
probability, the selection will be from among the 1976 to 1978 batches
of IAS officers. The senior-most officer is Sutanu Behuria, a 1976-batch
IAS officer of the Himachal Pradesh cadre and Secretary, Heavy
Industries. From the 1977 batch, a strong contender is Varesh Sinha, an
IAS officer of the Gujarat cadre and currently Chief Secretary of
Gujarat. Also in the running can be Madhav Lal, a 1977-batch.....
