Nitin Nabin's appointment must be seen as an alarm bell for some Union Ministers?
Nitin Nabin’s appointment is being viewed as a signal of churn within the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) internal hierarchy. The move reflects the leadership’s intent to inject new energy and generational change ahead of crucial electoral cycles. Sources suggest that several young faces—known for their organizational efficiency and appeal among emerging voter bases—may soon be elevated to key Union positions. This reshuffle could mark a gradual shift from the old guard toward a new cohort aligned with the party’s long-term vision and digital-era outreach. Strategically, the leadership seems keen to balance continuity with innovation, projecting renewal while retaining ideological consistency. If confirmed, these forthcoming replacements in top Union berths would underscore the BJP’s pragmatic approach to succession planning and political messaging, reinforcing its narrative of adaptability and youth-driven governance for the coming decade.
PM Modi spoke with Priyanka Gandhi, on PM's 3 day visit with special focus on Ethiopia?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi reportedly held an extensive conversation focusing on PM Modi's three-day visit especially to Ethiopia. The discussion delved deeply into the evolving Ethiopia-India relationship, highlighting strategic opportunities in the Horn of Africa. Key topics likely included India's development aid, capacity-building initiatives in infrastructure, education, and trade expansion with the African Union hub. Security cooperation, counter-terrorism coordination, and multilateral engagements were also on the agenda, alongside framing the visit's outcomes for domestic and global audiences. This rare cross-party dialogue underscores shared interests in strengthening bilateral ties amid geopolitical shifts.

K Laxminarayan Rao is likely to be appointed new DGP of Gujrat on Januaey 1. He is 1992 batch IPS officer.
Grapevine has it that Odisha Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja is being given six months extension on December 31. He is 1989 batch IAS officer.
Thalapathy Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam has quietly built a backroom team of ex-bureaucrats and technocrats to manage outreach and negotiations across Tamil Nadu’s fragmented political landscape. These figures, less visible than the star himself, are central to conversations with Dravidian majors, smaller caste outfits, and district-level influencers.Former IRS officer K.G. Arunraj, now General Secretary for Policy and Propaganda, is at the core of this effort, leveraging his administrative experience, network in the revenue and enforcement ecosystem, and comfort with data-driven profiling of constituencies to structure issue-based talks rather than personality-driven bargaining. Around him are retired officials and legal-judicial hands who bring procedural knowledge, help draft “acceptable” common minimum understandings, and reassure wary parties that TVK will not be an improvisational one-man show. This technocratic-bureaucratic layer gives TVK credibility in negotiations on seats, alliances, and post-poll cooperation, while allowing Vijay to remain the public face and final arbiter. For established parties, these ex-officials serve as a familiar, rules-literate interface with a disruptive new entrant.
Trending discussions highlight a shift toward data-driven policing, with AI tools for crime prediction gaining traction. Speculations include potential deputations of TN IPS officers to central agencies like CBI post-reshuffle, amid whispers of national security priorities influencing postings.
The ECI has started preparations for the five assembly elections to be held next year. The Commission has written letter to various ministries of finance and tax related services for officers. They will be appointed as Expenditure Observers in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry.
Discussions highlight RSS-affiliated IPS officers like R. Sreelekha, T.P. Senkumar, and Jacob Thomas as influential post-retirement figures, serving the nation through the organization. This reflects a trend of leveraging retired officers for advisory roles, with predictions of similar networks influencing deputation decisions in 2026.
Post-December reshuffles could see 10-15% more IAS promotions in southern cadres due to vacancy pressures; trends favour tech-savvy officers for new AI-driven initiatives like e-governance dashboards.
The Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) is yet to hold interviews for the selection of successor to the incumbent, Jai Prakash Dwivedi retiring in January next year. The post of Chairman-cum-Managing Director (CMD), Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) was advertised on April 28, 2025.
The Government of India has started searching for a successor to CMDE A Madhavarao as Chairman & Managing Director, Bharat Dynamics Limited (BEL). The tenure of Madhavarao is coming to an end on April 30, 2025.

M Rajamurugan, currently on central deputation, has been promoted to the Above Super Time Scale of IPS on pro forma basis w e f January 1, 2026. He is a 1996 batch IPS officer of Tripura cadre.
A high-level visit by Dr. Vinod K. Paul (Member, NITI Aayog) included interactions with faculty and infrastructure reviews, hinting at potential upgradations in smart classrooms and cultural initiatives.

The promoted officers are: Ms Patel Arohiben Mukeshbhai, Sanjay Kumar, Rohit Tripathi, M Jaya Singh, Manish Shiva Zole, Parmar Utsav Dhanjibhai, Ms Vandana Jatav, Ms Kanchan Patiyal and Ms Ankita Dhanda.
Reports highlighted the need for IAS/IPS rotations in NE states, criticising reliance on Kerala-cadre officers and advocating ex-military governors for security.
Whispers about ongoing DGP appointment delays, with Supreme Court directing completion by December 19, 2025, but no resolution.
DBT’s BIRAC (est. 2012) announced expanded support for startups in pharma/biopharma via grants and interfaces. Includes new calls for monoclonal antibodies against Nipah virus. Trending: Indigenous manufacturing push, with ₹1,000 Cr RDI outlay for private R&D.
Better returns
Because IRS officers get better returns from the private sector, probably.

Why BHEL HR Director, Krishna Thakur is switching over to NMDC?
He is doing his best at BHEL now he will set right NMDC. This is always better to switch to other organisation if opportunity comes particularly at higher position. You will enjoy your previous contacts to do better in new organisation. You can enjoy benefits of both the organisation in terms of various activity personal or official. Overall this is good for the company. BHEL is a big organisation and will get suitable replacement for sri thakur soon.

Free to Join
It is very sad part that BHEL's employees below board level are forced not to apply in any PSU by not issuing NOC as required by other PSU. But, board level members free to join any other organisation. It is completely in appropriate action on part of employees.
A Visitor
Do the details of my passing out match with the official records?
The appellant gave his enrollment number and submitted that he had completed his Diploma in Civil Engineering from a particular University in 2014. He wanted to verify whether these details match with the official data records. The PIO informed that the UGC does not verify the Validation of documents and requested the appellant to approach the concerned University. The CIC observed that the Appellant did not seek for any information as envisaged under Section 2(f) of the RTI Act, rather he sought for clarification or confirmation of a speculative statement. While the PIO attempted to facilitate the Appellant by giving a clarification as though replying to a grievance petition, but the PIO ought to have specified that the Appellant has not asked for any information per se.
Comments
In purely legal terms, the role of the PIO is restricted to providing what is covered under the definition of the term “information” as defined under Section 2(f) of the RTI Act. It would be prudent for the PIO to examine whether the request of the applicant is within the parameters of section 2(f) of the RTI Act and take action accordingly.
