UP Government Elevates Three 1994-Batch IAS Officers to Additional Chief Secretary Rank
Amit Kumar Ghosh, Leena Johri, and Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma Promoted in Major Bureaucratic Reshuffle
In a significant development within Uttar Pradesh’s top bureaucracy, the state government has promoted three senior IAS officers of the 1994 batch to the prestigious rank of Additional Chief Secretary (ACS).
The officers elevated from Principal Secretary to ACS are:
Amit Kumar Ghosh – Principal Secretary, Medical Health & Family Welfare and Medical Education
Leena Johri – Principal Secretary, Women & Child Development and Director General, Rashtriya Poshan Mission
Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma – Principal Secretary, Basic and Secondary Education
All three officers will continue to serve in their current departments, but now in their enhanced capacity as Additional Chief Secretaries.
Reinforcing Strategic Sectors
The promotions come at a crucial time, reinforcing leadership in key departments that directly impact public health, education, and social welfare.
Amit Kumar Ghosh has been central to reshaping UP’s healthcare and medical education ecosystem, particularly in the post-pandemic period.
Leena Johri is driving flagship initiatives under Women & Child Development, including the Rashtriya Poshan Mission, a critical national programme to combat malnutrition.
Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma, a seasoned administrator and author, is spearheading reforms in school education with a focus on learning outcomes and digital infrastructure across both basic and secondary education.
