IAS Vibhor Aggarwal is a 2019 Batch Officer of Assam-Meghalaya cadre and is currently posted as Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills, Meghalaya. His Vision for the district is rooted in making the life of locals easier, be it fixing everyday governance systems, improving maternal health outcomes , waste management or promotion of local products and entrepreneurship.

“One of the first things I realised when I joined the district was that there is no proper follow-up mechanism for complaints” he says. “People come to the DC office with letters and petitions, but generally these complaints get missed out.”

To address this, the district administration has created a structured complaint management system. An internal portal is being developed where each grievance is registered, assigned a unique number and tracked through every stage. “We are tracking the entire history of the complaint as to how it is going on” Aggarwal explains. “There is a person who follows up with the departments and makes sure that they carry out the processing of these complaints.” This not only makes it hassle free for the citizens but also helps in saving time and increasing the efficiency of the system.

Recognizing that not every citizen is literate and tech savvy, he emphasises “Most of the public are not literate enough to use online grievance systems. They come with letters. For those people, their complaints generally get missed out” he notes. “This mechanism ensures that no complaint that comes to the notice of the DC office is ignored.”

Health, especially maternal health is another key area where the district is tightening administrative oversight. While state-level programmes are ongoing, Aggarwal points to institutional deliveries as a critical focus. “If more and more institutional deliveries happen, then it can reduce maternal deaths also,” he says.

To achieve this a monitoring system has been devised to track every expected delivery. Medical officers begin their follow ups at least two weeks prior and are accountable for reporting and explaining the reason of  home delivery if any, along with the corrective action taken.

Looking ahead, Aggarwal has planned ambitious initiatives in urban cleanliness and local economic development. Speaking about he said “Solid waste management is a priority”

Another project in the pipeline is a dedicated local mart. “This will be like any other shopping mart,” he says but with a clear distinction: “It will only have local products. No products from outside.”

The extended tenure of CBI Director Praveen Sood ends in May 2026. Sood is a 1986-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of the Karnataka cadre. He was appointed as the Director of the CBI on 25 May 2023 for an initial two-year term and was later given one-year extension.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has taken cognisance of the declining growth trajectory in the agriculture sector, which has slipped from 4.6% in 2024-25 to an estimated 3.1% in 2025-26. To address this slowdown, the upcoming Union Budget is expected to announce targeted measures aimed at strengthening cooperative farming and promoting value addition across agricultural value chains. The government is likely to focus on fostering farmer collectives, improving post-harvest infrastructure, and supporting agro-processing units to boost incomes and rural employment. Policy emphasis is being placed on integrating small and marginal farmers through cooperatives to achieve scale in production, modernize supply chains, and enhance market competitiveness. Officials indicate that the budget push will align with the broader rural revitalization agenda, ensuring sustainable agricultural growth alongside value-driven economic diversification.

Environment Ministry officials have clarified that recent amendments to the Forest Conservation Act (FCA) guidelines do not permit non-government entities to take over forest land management. A January 2, 2026, circular allows state governments to partner with private or government entities for afforestation and regeneration activities under approved working plans and state forest department supervision. These are classified as "forestry activities," exempting them from compensatory afforestation and net present value payments, with states free to set revenue-sharing terms.Opposition leaders like Congress's Jairam Ramesh allege the 2023 FCA changes enable privatization, risking commercialization of forests. Critics warn of weakened safeguards for ecosystems and forest-dependent communities, potentially prioritizing timber over biodiversity. The government insists oversight remains with state forest departments, aligning with restoration and climate goals, though debates intensify over ecological versus economic priorities.

Vivek Sharma, (IPS -1998), currently serving as Madhya Pradesh’s Transport Commissioner, has applied for study leave starting from April 2026, sources within the state government confirmed. Sharma, who has already completed two years of his LLB course, aims to pursue a specialised program focusing on the new criminal laws under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, their practical implementation, and the admissibility of digital evidence in legal proceedings.

This move comes as part of a broader administrative overhaul in the state, with the government considering replacements for Sharma’s position.  Sharma’s decision is driven by a desire to deepen his understanding of the evolving legal framework, which he believes will refresh his administrative skills and better equip him for future roles. “Officers should actively pursue study leaves to gain expertise in new norms,” Sharma told WITC, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning in public service.

Potential successors to the Transport Commissioner role include Indore Commissioner Santosh Singh, known for his work in urban mobility, and ADG (Ujjain Division) Umesh Joga, recognized for his enforcement and logistics expertise. Official clearance for Sharma’s leave is awaited, but his track record suggests approval is likely.

Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL), India's largest coking coal producer and a Coal India subsidiary, raised ₹273.1 crore from anchor investors on January 8, 2026, by allotting 11.88 crore shares at ₹23 each ahead of its ₹1,071 crore IPO opening January 9. This anchor book—featuring LIC (₹78 crore), Nippon India, Bandhan, and UTI mutual funds (total 7.17 crore shares), plus global players like Societe Generale—signals strong institutional confidence, often boosting public subscription. As a pure offer-for-sale by Coal India, proceeds unlock funds for the parent to invest in coal expansion, mine modernization, and capacity augmentation amid rising steel demand, without direct capital infusion to BCCL. Operating primarily in Jharkhand's Jharia and West Bengal's Raniganj coalfields (58.5% national coking coal output in FY25), this divestment aids Coal India's growth strategy.

Assessment reports of the medical colleges to be uploaded on the official website of NMC

Appellant sought for the attested photocopy of the completed standard assessment (form A & B) for recognition of MBBS seats for the AY 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24, submitted by the Principal of the Kanti Devi Medical College Hospital and Research Center Mathura, UP. The appellant stated that the inspectors or assessors of the National Medical Commission physically visit the college campus to prepare the report, after checking whether the medical college has sufficient number of beds, faculty, nurses and infrastructure of hostels, library, lecture halls, playground and hospital. So, the report has all the relevant information crucial for the prospective MBBS students to decide their admission in a particular college. The assessors give their observations to the replies submitted by college authorities and upon preparation of the report, the assessors send one copy to the NMC and one to the College. Based on the observations and recommendations, the NMC decides whether or not to sanction the running of a medical college and grant permission for admissions for the academic year in which assessment is conducted. Hence, the assessment reports are crucial source of information, particularly for aspiring medical students who can verify the infrastructure and faculty of the medical colleges, whether a particular college is fulfilling the prescribed medical education norms or not to and make admission decisions. The Respondent stated that since Under Graduate Medical Board (UGMEB) is not the custodian of the information, the same was sought from concerned Board i.e. Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB) and it was intimated that during the said period MARB will not be able to furnish the Assessment Report under NMC Act, 2019. The CIC held that the information sought by the Appellant ought to be disclosed and placed in public domain. In the past that, the CIC has directed the National Medical Commission (NMC) to upload infrastructure, faculty and other related information in the form of the assessment reports of the medical colleges on its official website, nmc.org.in, considering the crucial nature of the information.

Comments

Availability of information about the infrastructure and faculty of the colleges helps an aspiring student to compare them to make admission decisions. Information regarding whether a particular college is fulfilling the prescribed education norms or not must be made public as it is essential for every student.
