TFP Bureau, Raipur, June 3, 2025: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai today met trainee officers of the 2024 batch of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) at Mahanadi Bhawan, Nava Raipur. The young officers, currently undergoing training at the Chhattisgarh Administration Academy in Nimora, made a courtesy call on the CM as part of their familiarization tour.
Additional Chief Secretary and Director General of the Academy, Shri Subrat Sahu, informed the Chief Minister that five IAS officers—Shri Phadtare Aniket Ashok, Shri Arvind Kumaran T., Shri Akshay Dosi, Shri Kshitij Gurbhele, and Shri Vipin Dubey—have been allotted the Chhattisgarh cadre. These officers are receiving training from April 28 to June 20 and will be posted as Assistant Collectors in Jashpur, Bilaspur, Raigarh, Korba, and Bastar districts respectively.
Congratulating the officers, CM Sai urged them to be active participants in Chhattisgarh’s ongoing development. “You are joining at a time when Chhattisgarh is undergoing a significant transformation. The state is progressing rapidly across sectors, and the image of a Naxal-affected region is changing. Soon, Chhattisgarh will be Naxal-free,” he said.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the recently concluded Sushasan Tihaar, a state-wide good governance campaign in which public feedback was gathered to improve government services. The trainees shared their experience of participating in Samadhan Camps during their field exposure.
Training Director Mrs. Seema Singh noted that the officers were briefed on the administrative structure, key departments, policies, and welfare schemes of the state.
Chief Secretary to the CM Mr. Subodh Kumar Singh, Secretary to the CM Mr. Rahul Bhagat, and Academy Director Mr. T.C. Mahavar were also present during the interaction.
