IndiaThe Indian government conducted a significant reshuffling of top bureaucrats, making 13 secretary-level appointments across various ministries and departments. This included changes within the education ministry, where Dr. Vineet Joshi was replaced as education secretary. Senior IAS officer Naresh Pal Gangwar was appointed as the new secretary of the department of higher education, while T K Anil Kumar took charge of the department of school education and literacy. These changes occurred amid ongoing protests related to allegations of a leaked NEET exam paper. The government did not provide specific reasons for these appointments. Additionally, other high-ranking officials were moved to different roles, such as Katikithala Srinivas moving from housing and urban affairs to lead the ministry of development of north-eastern regions.
