Manoj Kumar Singh was appointed as the new Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, succeeding DS Mishra after his tenure ended. Singh, an IAS officer from the 1988 batch, is renowned for his extensive experience, efficiency, dedication, and competence in the bureaucracy.
Currently, Singh holds two pivotal positions as the Agriculture Production Commissioner and the Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner of Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, he serves in senior capacities as the Additional Chief Secretary of Panchayati Raj and Food Processing, as well as the Chairman of UPDA, UPSHA, and PICUP, all of which are crucial for the state’s development.
During the pandemic, Singh was credited with controlling the spread of Covid-19 in rural areas of the state. He also played a significant role in the planning and implementation of the ‘BC Sakhi’ scheme launched by the Yogi government.
As the Additional Chief Secretary of Panchayati Raj, Singh successfully implemented CM Yogi’s mission at the grassroots level. His efforts were pivotal in declaring all 75 districts in Uttar Pradesh open-defecation-free and in constructing the highest number of toilets in the state.
