The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approves appointments including Prakash Rajpurohit as Deputy Election Commissioner and Vivek Khare as Joint Secretary at the National Testing Agency (NTA). Rajpurohit is appointed for a specified tenure extending to April 8, 2030.
Multiple outlets describe this as part of a broader bureaucratic reshuffle. Beyond Rajpurohit and Khare, the ACC clears 27 civil servants for senior roles at the joint secretary level and equivalent positions. The reporting focuses on the seniority and tenure terms of the appointments, without detailing the policy reasons for the reshuffle.
