17 IAS officers shifted: Gaurav Goyal is now Secretary to Governor Mishra

Jaipur: On Thursday evening, the State government shuffled 17 IAS officers while also appointing a new Secretary to the Governor. Competent and brilliant officer Gaurav Goyal will now serve as Secretary to the Governor.

Subir Kumar wanted to shift from Raj Bhavan and for this, Subir Kumar had requested the Governor as well. On the other hand, the Governor had seen the work of Gaurav Goyal as Constitution Park was built in Raj Bhavan under the supervision of Gaurav during his tenure as JDC. Governor Kalraj Mishra was impressed by Goyal’s work and when Subir Kumar requested to shift from Raj Bhavan, so the Governor himself put forward the name of Gaurav Goyal. Notably, the post of Secretary to Governor is very important because Raj Bhavan plays a role in all the important works of the government.
