In a recent announcement by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), the position of the new head of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has been taken over by IAS officer Mr. Rakesh Kumar Chaturvedi.

Mr. R K Chaturvedi from the Madhya Pradesh cadre will be the new chief of CBSE until 2020.

The official letter of DoPT stated that in view of the proposal, the competent authority in the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) conveyed that the position of the Head Chief of CBSE be filled under the Central Staffing Scheme (CSS) keeping the recruitment rules in order.

The post of the head chief of CBSE was vacant for over a year and a half and has finally been filled after PM Modi denied authority to former HRD Minister Smriti Irani. This was the second time her plea was rejected stating that she did not have the basic qualification to be considered for the same.
