Pradip Tripathi gets additional duty of textiles secretary

Prior to his appointment as Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Tripathi had served as Special Secretary and Establishment officer in Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

Arvind Kumar Sharma, who was given additional charge of Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, at the beginning of this month, took voluntary retirement (VRS) to play a bigger role in the government outside the civil service. He is among the 10 candidates fielded by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the Legislative Council election in Uttar Pradesh.

The post of Secretary, Textiles is vacant since Ravi Capoor's Central deputation ended on December 31, 2020.
