Chief Secretary Rajiv Sharma, who served the Telangana government for 2 years, reportedly will resign from his post on November 30 at Secretariat, and will be succeeded by K Pradip Chandra, Special Chief Secretary of Revenue department.
Rajiv Sharma got a two-time extension and is likely to serve the State government in another key position as Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao plans to use his services further for the government.
During a Cabinet meeting on Monday, KCR appreciated Rajiv Sharma for his "efficient services" during the bifurcation of assets and employees of Telangana and AP, and for playing a significant role in tackling key issues.
Rajiv Sharma is the reason behind the government's effective implemention of ideas and plans, and will get a farewell worthy of his contributions, KCR told a briefing.
