Sujata Chaturvedi Joins UPSC: A New Journey Begins

Sujata Chaturvedi, a seasoned IAS officer from Bihar cadre, has been appointed as a member of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). set to be sworn in on Thursday. With an extensive career in civil services, her addition leaves three vacancies in the commission.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Sports Secretary Sujata Chaturvedi has been appointed as a new member of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

Chaturvedi, a 1989-batch IAS officer from the Bihar cadre, is expected to be sworn in as a UPSC member the following Thursday, as confirmed by officials. She was previously scheduled to retire on June 30.

The UPSC plays a crucial role in conducting civil services examinations that select IAS, IFS, and IPS officers, among others. With a prescribed term of six years or until the age of 65, Chaturvedi's appointment still leaves three member positions vacant, following the end of UPSC chairperson Preeti Sudan's term on Tuesday.
