The Modi government is set to welcome 25 private sector specialists into key roles within the Centre. The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given its nod for the appointment of three joint secretaries and 22 directors/deputy secretaries across various central government departments. The Personnel Ministry, in June 2018, opened applications for 10 joint secretary-rank posts through lateral entry, a pioneering move. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducted the recruitment, and in October 2021, recommended 31 candidates for joint secretaries (3), directors (19), and deputy secretaries (9) in various central government departments.
