Neerabh Kumar Prasad, a senior IAS officer who joined in 1987, has been named the new Chief Secretary, taking over from Dr. KS Jawahar Reddy. Neerabh began his responsibilities at the secretariat soon after his appointment last Friday.
Considering his retirement is scheduled for June 30, there is anticipation of an extension for him, likely for a minimum of six months. While Chandrababu Naidu is slated to be sworn in as the Chief Minister on June 12, the complete cabinet swearing-in might occur a few weeks later.
As Naidu is likely to undertake a complete revamping of the administration, he would prefer to retain Neerabh for an extended period, given Neerabh’s familiarity with the current system and the need for continuity during this transition phase. “Centre has been granting extension for All India Service officers working in the states for six months upon request by the state govt.”
