Manoj Ahuja, an IAS officer, has been appointed as the new Chief Secretary of Odisha.

The state of Bhubaneswar just announced some major changes in its government structure. After being repatriated from his position in the Government of India, Manoj Ahuja, a 1990 batch Odisha cadre IAS officer, has been selected to lead the state as its new Chief Secretary. This news was revealed on Friday, with Ahuja set to officially take on his new role on June 30th.

In addition to his role as Chief Secretary, Ahuja will also be serving as the Secretary to the General Administration and Public Grievance Department. This decision was made following the retirement of the previous Chief Secretary, Pradeep Jena. The General Administration and Public Grievance Department released a statement today, stating that Ahuja's appointment will officially begin on June 30th, 2024.

Ahuja's return to his home cadre was highly anticipated, especially after his successful tenure as the Secretary to the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare in the Government of India. The state government had previously requested the Centre to allow Ahuja to return and serve his home state. Their request has now been granted, and Ahuja is ready to take on his new responsibilities in Bhubaneswar.

Overall, this appointment has caused a buzz in the state, with many looking forward to the positive changes that Ahuja's leadership will bring. With his expertise and experience, Ahuja is expected to guide the state towards progress and development in the coming years.
