    K Rajaraman gets additional charge as MeitY secretary

    Mumbai: Telecom secretary K Rajaraman has been given additional responsibility as secretary of the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) following the retirement of Ajay Prakash Sawhney.

    The department of personnel and training on Monday notified of several new appointments on account of retirement of several bureaucrats in various government departments.

    Rajaraman is a 1989 batch IAS officer from Tamil Nadu and will take charge with immediate effect “till the appointment of a regular incumbent or until further order, whichever is earlier,” said the ministry of personnel and training.

    Rajaraman took over as telecom secretary after Anshu Prakash retired last year. Earlier, he had worked as additional secretary in the department of economic affairs.
