The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has formally designated four senior IAS officers as Additional Chief Secretaries (ACS), aligning their official titles with their existing pay grades and responsibilities.
List of Promoted Officers
The following 1991-1992 batch IAS officers have been granted the ACS designation:
-
Lakko Venkateshwarlu (IAS:1991:UP)
-
B.L. Meena (IAS:1991:UP)
-
Narendra Bhooshan (IAS:1992:UP)
-
Anurag Srivastava (IAS:1992:UP)
Key Details of the Promotion
The officers were already working at the ACS pay scale but were previously designated as Principal Secretaries.
The new order allows them to officially use the ACS title in all administrative communications.
This move recognizes their seniority, experience, and contributions to Uttar Pradesh’s governance.
Why This Matters
-
Streamlines administrative hierarchy by matching designations with functional roles.
-
Reflects the UP government’s efforts to optimize bureaucratic efficiency.
-
Ensures clearer leadership structure in the state administration.
Broader Context
The decision is part of the state’s ongoing administrative reforms to align senior officers’ designations with their actual responsibilities and pay grades.
