A significant development in public administration sees the appointment of Shri Mahabir Prasad to the prestigious Indian Administrative Service (IAS). This appointment stems from the 2022 Select List, following a recommendation from the Union Public Service Commission. Shri Prasad, previously a member of the State Civil Service of Haryana, will now join the IAS cadre, specifically allocated to Haryana. This transition marks a new chapter in his career, though the appointment is initially on probation and is contingent upon the final outcome of an ongoing legal matter before the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana. The effective date of this appointment coincides with the issuance of the official notification. Further administrative steps will involve the Chief Secretary of the Government of Haryana furnishing a proposal for the fixation of his seniority and year of allotment in line with the established IAS (Regulation Seniority Rules).
