IAS officer Gaurav Goyal, a 2006 Rajasthan cadre officer, has been released from his joint secretary posting at the Lok Sabha Secretariat and rejoined his home cadre following a request from the state government.
Gaurav Goyal, an Indian Administrative Service officer of the 2006 Rajasthan batch, has formally returned to his parent cadre after completing a central deputation. The officer had been serving as a Joint Secretary in the Lok Sabha Secretariat during his tenure with the central government.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat, acting on a specific appeal from the Rajasthan state government, has terminated Goyal's joint secretary assignment, thereby freeing him to resume duties within the state administration. The decision reflects the state’s desire to bring the officer back for upcoming administrative responsibilities.
State officials indicated that Goyal’s experience at the central level could be leveraged for senior roles in Rajasthan’s bureaucracy, though no specific posting has been announced yet. His return underscores the routine practice of cadre‑reverting IAS officers after central assignments.
